Cursed Objects: Unveiling the Dark Power of Lseches

The curse of lseches is a topic that has fascinated both scholars and the general public for centuries. Lseches, also known as leeches, are blood-sucking parasites that have been used in medicine for thousands of years. However, there is a belief that lseches carry a curse that can bring bad luck and misfortune to those who use them. According to legend, the curse of lseches originated in ancient times when a wise and powerful healer placed a curse on the parasites. The healer was furious with their overuse and misuse by less skilled practitioners, who were using them indiscriminately and without proper knowledge of their potential dangers and side effects. As a result, the healer decreed that anyone who used lseches without adequate understanding and respect for their power would be cursed.

As a result, the healer decreed that anyone who used lseches without adequate understanding and respect for their power would be cursed. The curse of lseches is said to manifest in a variety of ways.

Mister Magic

Grappling with religious trauma and childhood abuse, this suspenseful tale from White (Hide) calls to mind old-school internet creepypastas. Val leads a quiet life on a ranch with her ailing father. She has no contact with the outside world or memory of her childhood. After her father dies, strange men approach her claiming that, as kids, they were all costars on cult-classic children’s show Mister Magic. Now a podcaster wants to interview them about the show, which ended after a mysterious tragedy, and all the previous cast members are invited. Even as Val slowly comes to terms with the strangeness of her lost childhood, her unexplained memory loss, the secrets kept by her possibly untrustworthy costars, and the marvels made by the theoretically CGI star of the show, Mister Magic himself, all hint at some greater, possibly supernatural conspiracy. Transcripts from fan forums interspersed throughout only enhance the ambiguity surrounding what exactly ended the show—and whether the show ever existed. These questions keep the pages flying on the way to a climax that satisfies even while not delivering typical horror action and gore. Both eerie and surprisingly heartwarming, White’s examination of the perils of nostalgia is sure to win fans. Agent: Michelle Wolfson, Wolfson Literary. (Aug.)
