Gas prices, traffic. “Fresh” produce, “wholesome” food. Your boss. Your former boss. Your coworkers. Your crush. Doctors. Customer service. Who can you call to get that monkey off your back? You can’t call anyone because they won’t return your calls. Isn’t it time to have a little ammo of your own? Here you go: fifty custom maledictions for situations you run into every day, and for people you know and wish you didn’t. In step-by-step, user-friendly detail, The Little Book of Curses puts the power back in your hands. Learn how to place spells, incantations, hexes, and more. Authentic, ancient curses from around the world are tweaked for easy, contemporary use. The book covers the four essentials to practicing any kind of magic: what to do and say, what materials to use, what frame of mind to be in, and what limits to set. In some cases it even matters where you are when you set your curse, what time of day it is, and who’s around. All that is here, too. It’s foolproof!

The prettiest boy in a big family, his job is to tempt naïve rich girls to abandon their engagements, unless their parents agree to pay him off. But after his mother runs afoul of the beast, she decides to trade Tevin for her own freedom.

Supernatural powers and the will to break a centuries-old curse collide when a man searches for the book containing the spell that will free him. The family of Dan Briggs has been cursed for three centuries and must find the remedy, written in The Book of Curses. Dan confronts the ghost witch who originated the curse and he and his sister, Sarah, are banished to a private purgatory existing between the living and dead. They encounter ancestors-a Puritan, his daughter, and a Revolutionary War soldier-as Dan's girlfriend, Lettice, searches for the book. Advance fifty years: The book has not been found and Lettice's granddaughter, Kalendra, befriends a college classmate who coincidentally lives in Dan's house. Dan contacts them, but his appearance calls forth the ghost witch and a warlock. The roommates enlist the aid of Ian and they locate the book in the library of Ian's uncle, the warlock. Dan, Sarah, and the ancestors are freed from the spell, but are now being pursued by a warlock. It's Dan's job to stop him, if he can find out how.
