Cursed: An Anthology by Marie O'Regan, Paul Kane
3.0
It's almost impossible to rate and review an anthology. There were some really good stories in there that I absolutely enjoyed.
Others... not so much. There were three stories that I couldn't make heads or tails off. It was confusing, messy and with prose that was impossible to follow.
Some stories suffered because of their length. A few I found way too short for what they were trying to do. Others were too long so it felt like a drag. It doesn't help that the book puts the two longest stories near the back which really had me fatigued.
This book took me forever to get through, which why it gets three stars, rather than four.
If you like stories about people being cursed in one way or the other; do check it out as the stories that I enjoyed ARE fun but if this isn't your thing; leave it.
