Cursed: Books 1-4 Horror Box Set

by Sean Platt

BOOK 3: Empty On the run for more than a century, cursed with the blood of a chupacabra, Ricardo must stay one step ahead of Tomas Morales, the man who has sworn vengeance and maintained pursuit through every sleepy hollow where Ricardo's spent a lifetime (and then some) hiding. Ricardo craves a life of quiet, but how can that ever happen when horror lurks inside him? Ricardo is almost happy in the quiet town of Glen, Kansas. He enjoys his work at Carl's Barbecue, and the warm comfort of the beautiful Maria Gianni. But quiet and comfort is shattered when the unexpected falls on top of Ricardo like a cursed ton of bricks to stir the monster inside him. "This is a rather, a poignant, dark tale with a dose of harsh and horrific violence thrown in. It simmers at a low boil but spills over into something approaching the ghastly. It reminded me of a solid X-FILES or SUPERNATURAL episode. I enjoyed this very much." "A new breed of fright from master horror writers -- a new kind of horror, werewolves without werewolves! "Platt and Truant do the same excellent job as they did in Unicorn Western, immersing us in an atmospheric world (contemporary Southwest U.S. in this case) and the plight of a sympathetic but horrific monster fugitive. This thing has heart.... and claws... and bony spines popping out of its back...." "I dove into the book and had one of those rare, great reading experiences where you're just a few pages into a book and you ALREADY know that you love it. That feeling stuck with me throughout the story and is still with me as I write this review. I like the main character, Ricardo, a lot. He's very compelling and I hope there are many more stories to follow about him. Unlike the authors' other stories that have a lot of humor in them, Cursed is a serious story. As much as I love their funny stuff, I think it's especially cool that Platt and Truant have gone into an entirely different genre and tone here - and they totally nailed it and put out a very entertaining page-turner. These guys are great storytellers." The Cursed horror novellas are a new twist on the classic werewolf novella -- a werewolf hunter series without the werewolves, a new breed of shapeshifter. Love the chupacabra. Fear the transformation.

Greed damns

This is a story of a man who is cursed. Is he also damned? Is there a difference? I don't promise you will know the answer after reading these books, but I do promise you will think about the difference. And after reading these books I do believe greed is damning.
