Read books on your computer or other mobile devices Pricing information not available. Albert Shipway is an ordinary guy, an insurance negotiator who likes booze and women and never having to say he’s sorry.

And he thinks this is just another day, another lunch, another order of kung pao chicken. Little does he know that he’s about to meet a little old lady who knows his greatest fear. A little old lady who knows what’s hiding in his heart. A little old lady who dishes up a big stew of supernatural revenge, with ingredients as follows: First you take one psychotic ex from a family of serial killers. Next add a pinch or two of an irrational childhood fear. Now thoroughly mix in an angry sister, a life-stealing great-granddad, and a notorious mass murderer—who happens to be dead but doesn’t know it. Let it stew and froth and bubble thoroughly....

In just a matter of minutes, Albert’s life turns upside down and he enters a world where magic and evil lurk beneath the fabric of Southern California. And all his choices have brewed a perfect storm of broken hearts, broken promises, shattered families, and a couple of tiny problems. Namely, killer mice and a baby.

Albert Shipway is finally getting a chance to right some wrongs.

That is, if it’s not too late.

This poor overworked guy is minding his own business, trying to get something to eat on his short lunch break, when he is accosted by a very strange, creepy little old lady. Then he finds out his former girlfriend has been murdered and he is on the suspect list. And things go downhill from there. Somewhere along the way he teams up with the dead girl's sister to try and track down the real murderer, and escape the curse placed on him by the aforementioned "little old lady".

5 of 5 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Cursed! - 5 stars and a stunning, shocking page-turner, November 19, 2010 This review is from: Cursed! (Kindle Edition) A tale from two latter-day gods of the dark and spooky, Cursed! captivates the reader with a superlative hook, a bizarre curse and an original tale that blurs the line between reality and the pop-culture, noir urban fantasy of Southern California. Not since Stephen King's Thinner has there been such a compelling curse, a delectable horror mystery treat that is five fingersnaps above the Addams Family on home-brewed absinthe. Two masters of suspense and paranormal mystery team up as one voice to scare you deliciously and inject the tale with offbeat humor and likable players--the end of every chapter will make your heart jump. Cursed! delivers the dark goods in a stunning, can't-put-it-down tale that propels the reader to the climax that is the hero's greatest fear, manifested in Technicolor. Riveting! Read it now for an adrenaline rush. -- Eve Paludan, bestselling author of The Romance Writer's Pink Pages, a three-book series from Prima and novelist of Letters from David Help other customers find the most helpful reviews Was this review helpful to you?
