We will explore how curses have ruined people's lives, from peasants to kings to movie stars. This book will introduce you to the basics of performing a hex that will torment your enemies. Learn how to get them out of your life, ruin their sex drive, lose all their money, shut up a liar, or bring them under your control.

作品考察・見どころ
本書は単なる呪術の指南書に留まらず、人間が抱く復讐心という根源的な感情を、歴史的・文化的な深みをもって解剖する怪作です。著者のホワイトは、正義が果たされない理不尽な世界で、虐げられた者がいかにして魂の均衡を取り戻すかという切実な問いを、伝統的な魔術の文脈から鮮烈に描き出しています。 特筆すべきは、呪いがもたらす倫理的代償や精神的境界線にまで踏み込んだ洞察の鋭さです。闇の術を実践する覚悟を読者に突きつけるその筆致には、禁忌に触れる恐怖と、運命を掌握する圧倒的な解放感が同居しています。呪いの裏側に潜む人間の業を直視させる、実に挑発的で知的な一冊です。
