In 1894, Leonarda Cianciulla was born into an abusive household. As a young girl, she attempted suicide twice to rid herself of the misery. After decades of abuse, Leonarda sought stability and married Raffaele Pansardi. Her mother did not approve and conveyed her anger in the strongest possible sense. She cursed the marriage.
Leonarda believed that her mother’s words had power and they haunted her for the rest of her life. Following the curse, Leonarda experienced fits and seizures, was imprisoned for fraud, lost her home to an earthquake, had three miscarriages and lost 10 children due to ill health in their youth. Her fears were exacerbated when she visited a Romani fortune teller who informed her, "In one hand I can see prison. In the other, a mental asylum."
In 1939, Leonarda’s eldest son, Giuseppe, informed her that he was going to join the Army. As one of only four remaining children, she needed to protect him at all costs. She decided that the only way to do that was through the most extreme means - human sacrifice.
The Curse is a chilling account of one of the most brutal and bizarre true-crime stories in history. Ryan Green’s riveting narrative draws the listener into the real-live horror experienced by the victims and has all the elements of a classic thriller.
Caution: This book contains descriptive accounts of abuse and violence. If you are especially sensitive to this material, it might be advisable not to listen.

This particular book is well-researched and well written. It's such a good story that I had a hard time pausing it to do other things like work.
The narration is perfect for this book! He did a great job bringing this chilling story to life without being OTT.

Had anyone else written the story, it would be documentary like and likely boring. Ryan Green is however the King of the true crime genre. He does meticulous research and adds so much flavour to the stories that I feel his stories should become motion pictures. He combines facts with his own analysis and assumptions to create a masterpiece. I highly recommend this story, along with all the others!
Steve is a perfect fit to narrate Ryan’s books. He adds emotion and suspense in his performance making the stories enjoyable and entertaining.
