dark funny informative

Some sections were quite interesting (Tolkien being asked to consult on the etymology of a god name-checked in a cursed ring and then later releasing the most popular book series about a cursed ring; book curses essentially being the earliest form of copyright protection). Looking up photos of the Black Aggie statue, she was indeed hella creepy. But some sections felt like filler and a stretch of the imagination to actually call them cursed. Still a fun, interesting read.
