-> ''"''Literature/TooManyCurses'' is easily my most fairy tale like story and probably my most neglected. It's not as flashy as most of my other stories, and the premise doesn't jump out at you. Maybe that's why I like it as much as I do. Telling stories about [[Literature/GilsAllFrightDiner tough-as-nails werewolves]] and [[Literature/EmperorMolluskVersusTheSinisterBrain super genius space squids]] is relatively easy. Those types of characters are made to be heroes, but Nessy and the denizens of Margle's cursed castle are exactly everything we wouldn't expect heroes to be. Somehow, despite that, they get by. here's a story where they do just that. "''
