"This anthology should more than satisfy established genre fans and general readers alike." - Booklist "Fans of eerie fairy tales and dark fantasy wont want to miss this." Publishers Weekly "Some of the stories merely sidle up to the line between dark fantasy and horror, and some stake their oozing, bleeding hearts with it, but all bring a shiver of fear, dread, or understanding." Library Journal PRAISE FOR CURSED: AN ANTHOLOGY A magical, mythical, mystical collection that should appeal to fans of dark fables and traditional folk horror. - Den of Geek This anthology should satisfy most fantasy readers and is well worth a look. - Booklist These stories are by turns eerie, grotesque, and delightful... Readers wont have to be Brothers Grimm fans to appreciate this dark mlange. - Publishers Weekly Review The editors have assembled a fantastic collection here, one that offers an array of talent and is packed with stories that are all worthy of a return visit... Certainly lives up to and surpasses expectations. - Starburst Magazine Revew Puts new spins on old favorite stories and tropes, as well as offers a few completely new takes on the concept. - Book Riot Skin-crawling, tooth-grinding scary and sensuous... an excellent collection whose unforgettable, spooky images invoke the magic of daily life. - Foreword Magazine Review A strongly put together compilation, with very solid qualities... Really does achieve exactly what it set out to do. - The Bookbag Review Every story selected for inclusion here is of incredibly high quality, delicious and moreish, provoking in the reader a compulsion to keep turning the pages until the book is complete. A compulsion strong enough to be a curse Perhaps. Youll need to buy a copy and find out for yourself. - A Set the Tape Review Enchanting, spellbinding, gruesome and funny but seldom dull we give Cursed a 666/666. - Horror Hot House A masterpiece in its editorial storytelling. - Her Campus I enjoyed the twists and darkness in the stories and I will happily reread a few of them in the future. - A Novel Purpose Review A really interesting mix of fairy tale, horror, and urban fantasy... A really well put together collection! - A Cat, A Book, and a Cup of Tea A wonderful collection of stories. - Lucys Novel Purpose A solid collection... The overall vibe of this book is really dark & creepy, and in addition to the stories by authors I love, it was a great introduction to some new-to-me authors! - Grimdark Dad Review The book is packed with great tales, and some amazing authors. Whatever style that you enjoy, or writers that you like, is sure to be met here. The book has something for everyone, and continues the tradition of Titan producing some of the best anthology books around. - Trans-scribe Review No matter what your reading preference there will be something here for you... Each author really did fulfil the brief though and I very much enjoyed how diverse the ideas were, be it taken from existing mythology or through an entirely fresh approach. - Paperbacks & Pinot Review I really enjoyed this story collection... This anthology is defiantly for fans of fairy tales. It reaches out like a voice in the woods tempting your childhood self to step off the path and roam in the darkness for a little while. - Istoria Lit Review I enjoyed reading this book so much! It was so interesting... I would definitely recommend this book. It was such a quick read with you able to read a tale here and there. - Pythia Reads Review Beautiful, twisted, and refreshing takes on classic stories (with a few brand new fairytales thrown in the mix, too). - Howling Libraries blog tour review A great collection. - SciFi Movie Page review Like watching a amazing story teller tell a story...so much to love about this anthology. - The Misadventures of a Reader blog tour review A great collection of work from some great authors... has something for everyone. - Where There
