Download and read online ebook Cursed in New England write by Joseph A. Citro. This book was released on 2018-08-01. Cursed in New England available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. New Englanders are always cursing. But a colorful profanity uttered by some stero-typically taciturn old Yankee is usually more humorous than menacing. Yet, true maledictions (the opposite of benedictions) have frequently been spoken on New England soil, 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. You’ll read about curses that were followed by the strange disappearance of a father and daughter in Rhode Island, mysterious afflictions in Massachusetts, a river of death in Maine, an unaccountable blight in New Hampshire, unexplained madness in Connecticut, and other eerie happenings from New England’s colorful history. Some are well known, at least regionally. Others are nearly forgotten. Within these pages, storyteller Joseph A. Citro vividly brings these tales to life, letting us decide if these tales of woe were bad luck or . . . something else.

Download and read online ebook The Darkest Arts Revealed write by Elaina Lewis. This book was released on 2020-05-08. The Darkest Arts Revealed available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This book is a complete overview of the three most dangerous and infamous spells in Harry Potter lore, commonly called the Unforgivable Curses. The spells are categorized by severity, from least severe to most severe, i.e., starting with the Imperius Curse, followed by the Cruciatus Curse, and ending with the Killing Curse. The nature of the Unforgivable Curses is described, as in why they are unforgivable in the first place. Each spell is then described: a brief history of each spell from suspected origins to present day uses, how each spell works, notable people who performed these spells and on whom, and possible ways of defending oneself against these spells. The aim of this book is to dispel or reinforce rumors regarding the Unforgivable Curses, as well as to provide a well-rounded understanding of the most notable curses typically not taught nor talked about in great length in the wizarding community. A further aim is to address how these notorious spells stand out as truly unique among the numerous spells that currently exist in Harry Potter lore and why they should be studied to further detail.
