The Cursed - by Jen Soska (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Born cursed. Raised in a temple of women in white. The complete Cursed--Parts 1 and 2 in one hardcover--tells Lilian Ronashi's whole story, from the curse to the fire to the face on the Heathrow screen.

Lilian Ronashi's life has been shaped by a curse she never chose--and the complete story, collected here for the first time, follows it from its origins through the fire that took everything, the temple that raised her, the marriage that made her Tokyo's wealthiest widow, and the night the police took her away while the one man who never wanted her waited in an unmarked car.

A Tokyo-set supernatural noir from one of the line's defining horror voices, ending on the beat that bridges straight into The Black Eye Club: a man on a screen at Heathrow, asking the only question that matters. Released the same day as The Black Eye Club hardcover--the two halves of the collision, side by side. For readers who followed the parts as they landed, this is the keeper edition; for new readers, it's Lilian's whole story in one sitting--and the cleanest door into the Soska side of the line.

From Eric July, creator of Lilian Ronashi and founder of Rippaverse Publishing, with writer Jen Soska, interior art by Crizam Zamora (Chile), and colors by Marco Lesko. Letters by The Invisible Art Studio. Hardcover, on sale 4/13/27.
