Overview:
Can words kill? Can they wreak harm and havoc? Renowned storyteller Joseph A. Citro explores the possibility in the first and only book about curses in all six New England states. True, New Englanders curse all the time. But a colorful profanity uttered by some taciturn old Yankee is generally more humorous than menacing. Cursed in New England demonstrates that genuine maledictions have often been used as weapons on New England soil - true curses intended to invoke evil, injury, or total destruction against other people. Stories about preternatural revenge are numerous in Yankee lore, with each New England state providing its favorites. Some are well known, at least regionally. Others are nearly forgotten. With in these pages, Citro vividly brings these curse stories to life, letting us decide whether the resulting tragedies were simply bad luck or....something far more sinister.
