Just read recently a wonderful short story called "Cursed" avialable free at www.jacknightingale.com
Its about briefly, an old gypsy putting a curse on a policeman and Jack Nightingale being called in to help get it lifted. For those of you not familar with this series of books by Stephen Leather: there are 5 in the series so far, the first one called "Nightfall". A brief synopsis: Jack Nightingale a former police negotiator now private eye, inherits a mansion with a priceless library, it comes from a man who claims to be his father, and with a warning; that Nightingale's soul was sold at birth and a devil will come to claim it on his thirty-third birthday, just a three weeks away! I'm sure like me if you read the first book you will be hooked and want to read the rest...! |

Stories like this are great for inspiration. Your synopsis reminded me of the Stephen King story--written under a pseudonym I can't recall--titled Thinner. It was made into a movie, but the original story is better, as is true with most of King's work.

I watched that movie years ago, can't recall the title of the film, maybe it was called "Thinner" as well. Agree with you though most of Stephen King's books are much better than the films based on them. The Shawshank Redemption might be the exception.
