Cursed Paws
When a grief-stricken Catherine is desperate to fill the void left by her furry companion, Vader, she defies the laws of nature to bring him back from the dead. But, in a dark echo of Stephen King’s Pet Sematary, the cat that returns is not the one she knew. Strange occurrences begin to unfold around a series of vivid nightmares, glimpses of a shadowy figure lurking in the corners, and unexplainable whispers that seem to emanate from an otherworldly entity. As the line between life and death begins to blur, a string of violent incidents shake Catherine’s world, making her question the nature of whatever it is she’s resurrected.
Cursed Paws is a chilling tale of heartache, sorrow, and the daunting path one will take to move forward from a loss that cuts deep into the soul, even as it claws its way back from the grave.

3.5 stars. I want to fully compliment the author on accurately depicting the overwhelming emotions when dealing with a terminally ill pet. The worst of which happened in 2017 when our very young tuxedo cat had stomach cancer. I still cry thinking about her, even after all this time. It was an expensive, exhausting, painful, long-winded, and very defeating ordeal. But, MC Curran really nailed the entire experience here at the very start of the story. And I want to express my sincerest condolences on the loss of their actual cat, too. Now, I loved the writing style. The atmosphere, the emotions, the thoughts were the highlight here. By far, the best part of this story. However, it is very much, to a fault, inspired by Stephen King’s Pet Sematary. A resurrection grounds, a cat being brought back that is evil, etc, all just relied way too heavily on its obvious inspiration from the horror classic. I so wish that this worked harder to carve out its own niche, but just didn’t get there. And there was no lead in to the idea of the resurrection grounds in this story, Wisteria Cemetery. Our lead, Catherine, just happened to know about it and the idea of burying her beloved cat, Vader, came about only after he was put down. I wanted to get some initial background on the grounds, some internal struggle from Catherine on what to do, and some better pacing to make it all come together. And, not to spoil anything, but the way things played out didn’t flow very well. Lots of strange, awkward coincidences, internal logic consistency issues, etc. This was so close to being something better than it was, but needed to have some further content development to bring it to that desired level of quality.

Gather round Pet Sematary fans....
If you read the King classic and wished there was more Church, then this novella is for you.
M.C. Curran put so much emotion and heart into this debut and you can tell. I think sometimes the depth of pain and grief from the death of a beloved pet is overlooked. Or maybe seen as not as important. But Cursed Paws explores the lengths you might go to just to see that loved pet again. I can't say I would try to resurrect any loved one, including my cat, because l've seen and read too much to know the ending is never as expected. This year I had to rehome my cat Luna and I was devastated so I understand wanting her back.
Grief horror is exploding right now and rightfully so. I remember following Vader's story and the writing of this novella. I was so excited to be able to read this early so thank you Curran for allowing me to do so. This is a solid entry in the horror book community.

Y'all, grief horror can be hard to read. It's sad, it's raw, it's in your face. This book was all of those things.
This book is about Catherine. She loses the love of her life, her cat Vader. But she's just not quite ready to give him up yet. So she buries him in an old burial ground hoping that if she does everything right, he'll come back. Well I'm pretty sure you know what happens after that.
This book was sad, yes, but it was a great horror debut. I loved our FMC, all the emotions it gave me and I especially loved the ending.
This is a Pet Sematary retelling so all of my SK junkies need to jump up and grab this one!

Biased review, but I’m just so proud of my first novella. I hope this story can resonate with others and maybe even help some heal from pet loss 🖤

First of all, I, of course, have to shout out my favorite spooky babe, the author who also happens to be a treasured friend and member of the bookstagram community. Huge congratulations on her first novel! And thank you for the honor of being one of the first to read your work!
✨️all opinions are my own✨️
If you know me, you know I am very picky when it comes to the horror genre. I know it's fiction, but some books are just too wild and "out there" for me. In addition, some horror novels are just too long for my taste and can become repetitive rather quickly. In the case of this horror novella, it was an easy read due to it's size, although I dare say I wanted more😬 I would have like to see more build up of the fear and dread as it settled into Catherine's mind and home. I'm not even a Stephen King fan, but I loved the way Mary retold this classic tale. The grief writing is what really made it memorable for me. I couldn't even make it through a single page of the first chapter without crying. I truly mean it when I say that I think this novella is the start of a wonderful future in writing for Mary, her writing is heartfelt, sincere and intentional and I, for one, can't wait to see what she comes up with next.
I like to think I've become pretty close to Mary through our messages back and forth on Instagram. She even mentions me in the acknowledgments section of her novella🥹. Anyway, I'm familiar with how close this story hits home for Mary because frankly, it's not just a story at all. It's all too real for her, rooted in trauma and loss that she has had to face as a result of her beloved cat, Vader, being ripped from her side too soon. Grief can drive us to horrible actions. It can alter our entire being and way of thinking. That's what this book is about.
You all know Dre by now. If you don't, then I have failed. Dre didn't come to me as a puppy, we adopted him when he was between a year and two years old. That was over 5 years ago. Now that he's about 7 years old, middle-aged for a large-breed dog, I've watched the white of his face/snout spread to cover more of his coat. It comes with the territory, I know he won't live forever, but that hasn't made it any easier for me. Like Catherine, I have caught myself thinking of the lengths I would go to if it meant I could keep Dre by my side forever. While reading this novella, my brain subconsciously replaced every mention of Vader's name with Dre's.
Cursed Paws will be released on October 15th, so mark your calendars in support of a lovely member of our book community.

Catherine is devastatingly broken when her best friend, her cat Vader, must be put to rest. This is, until she remembers the folklore surrounding the Wisteria Cemetery. Whatever if buried there, will not stay buried for long… Catherine will do just about anything to bring Vader back so she picks up the crumbling pieces of herself, finds a spell book and gets to work.
Okay first are furrrrmost, this is a book about grief. It is not easy to read and it is not clean. It’s really devastating especially if you are an empath. Right off rip the detail of chapter one made me walk away and digest what I read before coming back to the story. I could not stop picturing the day my precious girl will inevitably pass.
“My grief was nothing more than an inconvenience, a reminder of mortality that they probably preferred to avoid.”
The descriptions of grief and how it eats away at you until there is nothing left is so raw. Woven throughout the book were different ways people reacted to the person going through the grief process. For example; a neighbor showed up but her offering to help actually just added to the mental load of the griever. Ultimately making things harder.
The immediate switch up from devastated grieving to determined mania really adds to my understanding of Catherine’s character when she first remembers the cemetery. Later on, she goes on to actually consider if the resurrection could have consequences, which is interesting because it shows shes lucid regarding her decision making and is able to put her grief completely aside. I think this shows her love of Vader more than anything. People will do almost anything to spend one more day with a loved one.
Lastly, there IS a bit of reprieve throughout. Mary sprinkled in some (much needed) comedic relief that gave me some breathing room. It wasn’t too much that it made light if the situation either.
The ending was absolutely killer. It was so unexpected and I actually really liked it.
Overall, if you like ‘Pet Semetary’ by the King, or you want to explore grief in a new way I highly recommend this novella.
Overall Rating: 4.25

As soon as I read the synopsis, I immediately said "Me!" because I would do anything to bring back Xayah from the dead (No, she's not dead. She's currently sleeping next to me.) So I immediately related to Catherine. The first few pages left me teary eyed. Mostly because I understand that dreadful day when you have to say goodbye to your furry friend but also because I knew of Vader from Mary's posts when I first started my bookstagram. Now for the story, I loved it! I knew after Catherine's experience with the Shadowstalker and her first nightmare of Vader things were about to get scary. I enjoyed how some dreams that Catherine had and some weren't so you had to keep reading to find out the truth. I loved every page until the very end. And the ending, does that mean there could be another story tied to this one?! I cannot wait to read more from Mary as she now has a reader for life.

Cursed Paws is a retelling of Stephen King’s Pet Sematary. The reader follows Catherine on her journey through the loss of her furry friend, Vader. The depictions of grief in this story are raw and all too relatable. Throughout the story, I found myself connecting emotionally with Catherine’s feelings of anger, grief, loneliness, and desperation. Grief is one of the most isolating emotions and Curran’s writing really hits the nail on the head with her descriptions of what Catherine experiences after losing her best friend.
As Catherine navigates the next steps after losing her beloved pet, she finds herself lost in hallucinations, forcing the reader to figure out what’s real and what’s not.
No spoilers here but the ending was shocking and it read like a movie… the last 20 pages glued me in all the way until the end.

“Grief manifests itself in many ways, and how we cope with it doesn’t always have to make sense to anyone but ourselves.”
“When we lose someone close to us, everything changes. Life moves so much slower for people directly involved with the deceased.”
Settle In for an atmospheric unsettling creepy slow burn horror!
Grief horror about dealing with the loss of a pet. If you enjoyed Pet Sematary or The Winter People then this novella is right up your alley!
I struggled a lot reading this book and had to put it down at times because the discussion of grief hit too close to home.
I don’t think grief horror is for me anymore but I really enjoyed the horror portions of this story.
Thank you to the author for the arc!

If you are a fan of Pet Sematary, this is for you!
Cursed paws is a horror novella that takes you through an exploration of grief and dread that seeps through the pages. It is a Pet Sematary retelling, but still stands on its own legs- (or paws).
This is beautifully written grief horror. There's nothing better than a novella that can pack a gut punch. Curran wrote with a sensitivity about pet loss without detracting from the feeling of unease and atmospheric horror.
Pet loss is not an easy topic to discuss or navigate, so keep that in mind while reading this.
Thank you so much to M.C. Curran for the opportunity to read this E-ARC early. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I knew, from the moment I read @pitties.and.pageturners review on this book, I would absolutely love it! I looked it up and at that time, there was no way for me to get it and I forgot about it.
Then, @lee_readsbooks wrote a review about this book and my interest was spiked yet again. After saying I couldn't get in on Amazon in my country, Lee reached out to the author, who reached out to me, and sent me a copy of their book.
Onto the review!
As expected, I absolutely loved this book. It was eery, it was drenched in dread and terror and I love the entire story behind all of it.
The shadowstalker for one was a very interesting addition to the story. It made the story so much more than "just a pet coming back from the dead". The shadowstalker caused confusion, a sense of dread and the constant question of what is real and what not.
While reading the story, you can also really feel the emotions behind it from the writer. You could sense that this wasn't all fiction and some of the feelings were very vivid and described in much detail, which made it also very easy for the reader to feel and understand the emotions and where they are coming from.
The only reason this book didn't get 5 stars, is because (as the afterword and the book itself says), everyone grieves differently, and I had a hard time with some thoughts the FMC had around loosing Vader. A lot of anger was involved and I never really understood if the anger really came from her, or because of influence from the Shadowstalker, though the anger already started before Vader was buried (When Dave came to visit, when Catherine just came home from the vet clinic with Vader), so I think those feeling were already there... And I just had a hard time understanding where the anger came from. But, that is really personal to me. The rest of the story was absolutely brilliant and I loved it from start to finish!
And the ending was also amazing! It was a short read, but one with a strong punch I think.

This debut novella was both horrifying and beautiful. Grief horror is something I usually avoid because all I do is cry, and that was no different here. But it was done in a relatable way that made it very easy to read and relate to, especially as someone who has gone through losing pets numerous times myself.
As for the horror itself, it was so creepy and atmospheric. The slow decline of faculties was perfect and written well, and for a moment you did wonder if it was all in her head (though I'm glad it wasn't). The ending was perfect, even if it was a cliffhanger, sometimes with horror that makes more sense than a concrete ending.
*SPOILER* The fact that the Shadowstalker was really possessing her and not Vader at the end was a good metaphor for grief as well. How grief is messy and complicated and it, for lack of a better term, possesses you as well. Takes you over and hollows you out and feels like it takes away the best parts of you. And the person/pet you're grieving over becomes something like a ghost lingering right in front of you, and you can't bear to keep losing them over and over again. You can only move on from grief once you allow yourself to remember the good memories and exorcise the grief from yourself. Sure it might linger and ache, but it's better to feel bittersweet than succumb to the grief and feel only that or nothing at all.*SPOILER*
As a side note, this book does a good job as well of showing how important good support systems are. Things like grief can be easier dealt with, with a village.
Overall, I loved this novella, and I'm looking forward to many more by this author.

The first thing that stands out to me is how personal this book feels. It’s clear the author was able to harness an experience they had suffered through and transfer it effortlessly onto the page. The emotions in this story are heartfelt and sincere - so much so I started to question where reality ended and fiction began…Mary please tell me you did not look for books on certain rituals in the library 🫣
This is a retelling of Pet Sematary but what breathes it new life (see what I did there) is this injection of personal experience which allows a further exploration of grief and how it makes the people consumed by it behave. I once heard someone refer to grief as a selfish emotion and I’ve been fascinated by that concept since. In the case of our MC I think that rings true to a degree!! There’s also a lot more inclusion of occult aspects…I would have loved to see some of these elements explored further but appreciate that this is not really what this story is about.
This is the debut novella by our lovely fellow bookstagrammer @a_plot_to_remember and I think this is just the start of things for her. I think something bigger is coming and I’ll be excited to see what that is!! Thank you so much for the gifted ARC - it was an honour to read this. Cursed Paws will be released and available on Amazon from 15th October 2024. Support our friend and get a creepy yarn for spooky season 🎃

Cursed Paws is a grief horror book about Catherine and how she tries to fill the void left by her furry companion Vader. She decides to define the laws of nature to bring him back from the dead. What could go wrong... This is a debut novel that will have you turning pages until the very end. I have been wanting to read this book since I saw the cover and I am so glad I did. It was written really well and I look forward to reading other books by this author. The book is a terrifying tale of heartache, sorrow and more. It is a retelling of Pet Sematary by Stephen King with a twist. This is the perfect book for the spooky season and one you do not want to miss. I love this book and recommend this to any reader but especially to those you love Pet Sematary by Stephen King. Thank you to the author for this ARC read in exchange of my honest review of Cursed Paws.

M. C. Curran's debut novella, Cursed Paws, is a heartfelt exploration of the intense bond we share with our fur babies and the overwhelming grief that comes with losing them. The story captures the depth of sorrow and longing, showing how powerful a human's love can be. I was completely moved by the MC's journey, and her pain was palpable, making it impossible not to feel it too. This novella reminds us that the loss of a furry loved one is all too real and significant.

This horror novella, while a quick and emotional read, left me wanting more build-up of fear, but its heartfelt exploration of grief rmade it a deeply memorable and moving read. Definitely recommended, and I'll be watching for more from this author!

I was nervous going into this that it was just going to be a Pet Sematary knock off but I was pleasantly surprised. Obviously there was major inspiration but it ended there. I ugly cried my way through the first 20 pages which I didn’t expect 😂 this was just a really great novella.
