*More Scary Stuff to Celebrate the Season*
Book Stats from Amazon:
Book Blurb:
Your life is no longer recognizable, every detail corrupted by unknown forces. The harder you struggle, the more you suffer. Your words mean nothing, your actions backfire, and one by one everybody you know is sucked down with you. You are: 1) Nick 2) cursed 3) afraid all the time That's because: a) someone or b) something is after you with a vengeance. Even with the help of other cursed people, you don't stand a chance because you're all, you know, cursed. That means you and everyone you know will: 1) suffer 2) die 3) amuse your tormentor That is, unless you figure out how to manipulate the person behind this and turn their power against them. Check your list a second time because they're probably on it. The only thing left to do is scratch them off.

I actually saw his first book Vacation on Goodreads and loved the cover and the title. I will be covering that one too. Cursed has just been released so its in need of being covered first.
I love reading books like this.

You know I felt that way too but the medication seem to help. *just kidding*
I'm thinking it sounds "Frankensteinish" in that it may be a tribute to human despair, or another intense horrific human emotion.... which I have yet to define. Since I have not read the book we shall see. :)
I loved the answering machine post yesterday. lol!
Thanks for the comments!
Sounds kind of freaky ... and the author photo looks kind of spooky too!!!!!!
