      Oh shit, this made me remember my experience. As a kid, I had two books that were definitely cursed. Every time I cracked one open, something awful would happen to my family. Being renovicted from our apartment. A parent developing epilepsy. The other parent losing a job. And so on.

      The books were sentimental so I held on to them for a long time. When I was an older teen, I even opened one of them to “test it out”… sure enough, parent had a seizure that same day.

      I have since gotten rid of them and I steer clear of books on similar topics.
