The Cursed Boards

Some games should never be played.

Some boards should never be touched.

Across forgotten towns, locked rooms, old schools, and ordinary homes, strange boards have begun to appear. A bingo card that chooses its winners. A chessboard whose captured pieces are real people. An evidence board that names a killer before the murder happens. A classroom blackboard that can erase someone from existence.

Each has its own rules.

Each demands something from the people who use it.

And every board seems to be connected to something much older than the games themselves.

The people who encounter them call them cursed. But the deeper they dig, the more disturbing the truth becomes. The boards may not be haunted objects at all.

Perhaps humans simply gave an ancient hunger squares, numbers, names, and rules—and invited it to play.

The Cursed Boards is a collection of interconnected supernatural horror stories about deadly games, impossible choices, and ordinary people who discover that once the first move is made, walking away may no longer be an option.
