Curses, hexes, or jinxes. These terms are used by people to describe supernatural phenomena that have an effect on an individual or a group of individuals living in an area. The existence or speculation on their existence has been a tale as old as time itself. Many humans have held belief in supernatural entities that can affect us in one form or the other. For example, some curses can cause a person to start behaving differently, other curses can cause bodily harm, and other curses still can lead to events in one’s life being dramatically shifted in such a way that they are unable to respond to the changes. For example, a curse might lead a person to have their partners leave them, and this can cause great emotional distress. Another curse can have an effect where they feel depressed and sad.

What makes Curses so special anyway?
Often people wonder if a book about a curse is just another throwaway run-of-mill fantasy book that offers no substance. However, there is more than meets the eye for books about curses. These books tend to have meaningful character development, well-written plotlines, impeccable worldbuilding, and also a focus on philosophical ideas that will make readers think. Another engaging element that these books contain is the fact that they often deal with mysteries, these mysteries can be about anything in the story, for example, a murder victim could have been murdered due to a curse. Or in another story, an entire kingdom could be suffering from a curse causing them to suffer from numerous large-scale problems such as famine, or plague. These stories also contain many mystical characters such as witch doctors, or healers who are fascinating on their own to read and learn about. Some of these stories can be very thought-provoking, making people think much more about the implications of curses and magic in the real world and how it might affect them if they were to exist. Even in the real world, we have many people who claim to have suffered from a curse and that it causes them much distress. The curses in these books are a plot device that usually drives the plot forward in a convenient way that also tends to tie up the story neatly and engagingly.
Moral Lessons in books about ancient curses
A key theme in ancient cursed books tends to be the idea that there are moral lessons that need to be learned before one can understand what it takes to break the curse. Some curses can be a result of a person or a group of people acting in a manner that is not righteous or fair to others, for example, the people living in an area might not be good to the poor in that region or loyal to their partners or whatever else they might be doing. There are many moral lessons to be learned in these books that can help one grow and prosper by learning from the life lessons within these books.
