Overview

The Cursed Board by J.T. Marrow In the fog-choked town of Blackwood, 17-year-old chess prodigy Riley unearths a chilling secret in their grandmother's attic: an antique chess set that pulses with a sinister life of its own. What begins as a curious game quickly turns deadly as the board summons spectral opponents-ghostly manifestations of Riley's deepest fears, from failure to betrayal. Each move drains a piece of their soul, and losing isn't an option when the stakes are their very existence. As Riley battles the cursed set's malevolent entity, they uncover a dark history tied to Blackwood and a 19th-century grandmaster's disappearance. With the help of their best friend Liam and cryptic clues left by their grandmother, Riley must unravel the town's secrets and confront their inner demons to break the curse-before the shadows claim them for good. Perfect for fans of psychological horror and coming-of-age tales, The Cursed Board blends the strategic tension of chess with spine-chilling suspense. This YA novel explores resilience, trauma, and the power of facing your fears, set against an eerie New England backdrop where every move could be your last. Dare to play?
