About this listen

Twenty curses, old and new, from best-selling fantasy authors such as Neil Gaiman, Karen Joy Fowler, Christina Henry, M.R. Carey, and Charlie Jane Anders.

All the Better to Read You With

It's a prick of blood, the bite of an apple, the evil eye, a wedding ring, or a pair of red shoes. Curses come in all shapes and sizes, and they can happen to anyone, not just those of us with unpopular step-parents....

Here you'll find unique twists on curses, from fairy tale classics to brand-new hexes of the modern world - expect new monsters and mythologies as well as twists on well-loved fables. Stories to shock and stories of warning, stories of monsters and stories of magic.

really fantastic lot of stories. I skipped a couple that weren't my taste but read all but 3 tales. My favourites were snow white blood red, Wendy darling and the hansel and gretle reimagining

exceptional collection of stories

Some great and clever stories, some just gratuitously gross. Skipped a few because they didn't hold my attention, but gave 4 stars for the stories I enjoyed.

A bit hit and miss

My favourite listen in forever- so clever and darkly wicked. A really enjoyable listen that I started from the beginning as soon as it ended.

Amazing

These short stories are fantastically written and performed. Some are better and more creepy than others but I enjoyed the whole book.

Brilliant short stories. Couldn't stop listening
