Believing him simply deranged Dr Anna Lee, an up and coming young psychiatrist, has come to cure Alister.

The Cursed Man is an extremely well written suspense horror story and I enjoyed it immensely; right up until the very end I was never sure and kept swinging back and forth... is Alister truly followed by death or is he simply mentally ill? You will need to read the book to find out.
...Great story telling in the tradition of Stephen King...I very much look forward to the next book in the series.
