606: “The Blackest Curse” by Jesse J Saxon


STORY

"The Blackest Curse"
Author: Jesse J. Saxon

The Wicked Library brings you a modern version of a traditional folk tale. A play on the bear skin tale, this creative story blends elements from different traditions and the artist's imagination seamlessly. This story reminds us to be careful what we agree too. Things that seem too good to be true often are.
