The Curse of M | comment |
The Curse of M is an Urban Fantasy novel by Stevie Barry. It is the first novel in The M Universe. In 2012, the magic comes back in a big, big way. Considering few people knew there had been magic in the first place, global chaos ensues.Among the results, in very short order, is the Alaskan National Institute for the Criminally Insane: a facility isolated in the remote Alaskan wilderness, where a number of the Cursed are abducted and shipped to for study and experimentation under the authority (and instruments) of one of the very few Cursed to be born with their ability. He has no more idea why the magic came back than anybody else, and he's willing to do whatever it takes to discover the answer. Meanwhile, the equally magical inhabitants of a Pocket Dimension (who call themselves the Gifted) are seeking the same, through far more moral means.The Institute itself is exactly the sort of powder keg one might expect of a facility filled with people with poorly-controlled magical abilities, held together by the sheer strength and will of its nightmarish leader. Both wind up sorely tested by the inmates, who include Lorna Donovan (Irish ex-con, bartender, and Anger Management Hairball), Ratiri Duncan (a Scottish-Indian pediatrician still mourning the loss of his wife), Katje DaVries (extremely pragmatic Dutch call-girl who can turn just about anything into a 'business opportunity') and the man known only as Geezer (Vietnam-veteran who can see the future, but can’t even remember his own name). All the situation needs is a match, and Lorna is determined to provide one. | |

The Curse of M / int_2ae29c0d | comment |
The Dreaded: Von Rached, naturally. He has complete control over everyone in the Institute, and does not hesitate to hurt or even kill people if he feels the need. To an extent, the world views the Gifted as this, since most of them can’t control their Gifts and cause a fair bit of damage via Magic Misfire and Power Incontinence. It's why the Institute comes to exist in the first place. | |

I Am What I Am: Von Rached knows exactly what he is, and has no problem with it. He tends to startle people who weren't expecting him to be so blunt about it. Lorna's also perfectly content with being a working-class woman unashamed of her criminal past (though she's not exactly proud of it, either). | |

The Unintelligible: Downplayed. Lorna's Dublin accent is so heavy some people can't tell she's speaking English (while she's in America, before she's sent to the Institute, more than one person asked her if she spoke Englsh). Ratiri thinks of it as Lorna-ese, and can fortunately usually translate it. Katje's English also tends to break down when she's stressed. | |

Pensieve Flashback: Telepaths are capable of doing this, with varying levels of success. Done right, they can witness the memories of another as though they were actually there, but messing around with them usually drives the person they're reading insane. Even Von Rached can't do that without leaving a scar. | |

Book Dumb: Lorna dropped out of school at fourteen and didn't get her Leaving Certificate (the Irish equivalent of a high school diploma) until she was in her twenties, but she’s extremely good at reading people. She tells Von Rached point-blank that he's not attracted to her at all, he’s attracted to what he thinks he can turn her into. For most of the book, she's absolutely right. | |

Escape from the Crazy Place | |
The Curse of M / int_6ec624b7 | comment |
Escape from the Crazy Place: Twice, though only the second time actually sticks. The first, en masse escape fails, but Ratiri, Katje, Geezer, and Gerald do make it out on the second try. | |

High-Class Call Girl | |
The Curse of M / int_7e95adeb | comment |
High-Class Call Girl: Sort of what Katje was. She lived in Amsterdam, so she was actually a professional prostitute rather than an illicit one. She considered herself something of a teacher, because she helped a number of her socially-awkward clients learn to navigate the world of relationships as well as sex, and often remained friends once they'd 'graduated.' | |

Good Girls Avoid Abortion | |
The Curse of M / int_8387bb18 | comment |
Good Girls Avoid Abortion: Played with. Lorna initially thinks that Ratiri is the father of her kid, because the two had sex the night before he successfully escaped and she didn't, and she went six weeks without a period before Von Rached raped her. Because she’d been told she was infertile after a miscarriage in her 20s, the thought of having a kid with Ratiri is surprising and scary, but not unwelcome, and she has a little while to come to terms with it before she finds out the truth. That makes her seriously consider a termination, but ultimately she and Ratiri decide to raise the kid as though it really were his. | |

Mind Rape | |
The Curse of M / int_8a4988bb | comment |
Mind Rape: Von Rached is rather a large fan of this, though even he's squicked by it when he does it rather literally to Lorna after the first escape attempt. He didn't actually want to do it in the first place, but he knew that physical pain wouldn't deter her in the future. It backfires on him. Badly. | |

Unproblematic Prostitution | |
The Curse of M / int_98ba5dfe | comment |
Unproblematic Prostitution: Katje lives by this trope. At one point, Geezer asks her how she can let herself be used like that; her response is essentially that if anyone's doing the using, it's her. Her clients just get sex; she gets sex and stuff. The others can't understand it, but figure that if it makes her happy, there's nothing wrong with it (though they all worry about her arrangement with Von Rached, because they realize it's dangerous. So does Katje, but it's serving her well enough for now.) | |

The Curse of M / int_f231fc12 | comment |
I Love You Because I Can't Control You: Ultimately, Von Rached feels this for Lorna, with all the creepiness that goes along with it. He's not even attracted to her until he can no longer read (and thus, no longer manipulate) her mind, so all of a sudden he wants what he can't have. It's not something he wants to admit, even to himself, because it's so base and immature. Lorna, however, is well aware of it. | |

Violent Glaswegian: Averted with Ratiri, though he mentions other doctors he worked with in London teasing him about the stereotype. | |

Law of Inverse Fertility | |
The Curse of M / int_f4f3252e | comment |
Law of Inverse Fertility: Lorna was told after she miscarried in her twenties that she'd never get pregnant again. Because of this, she and Ratiri don't exactly bother with protection, but it's not until Von Rached rapes her that she actually gets pregnant. The rather horrible irony of that is not lost on her. | |

Proud Beauty | |
The Curse of M / int_f568d693 | comment |
Proud Beauty: Katje uses her appearance as a business asset, and takes steps to maintain it even in the Institute in case it should prove useful (which it does). She's also well aware that attractive blonde women are often assumed to be unintelligent, which she'll exploit if necessary. | |

The Mourning After | |
The Curse of M / int_f6972f9d | comment |
The Mourning After: Lorna and Ratiri bond over having a bad case of this. Her boyfriend died in a car accident, and his wife died of ovarian cancer. Neither have dated since, or really ever gotten over it. Though neither is actually over it by the end of the book, they both think there's a chance they could be, given time, and he’s pretending he’s the father of Lorna's kid. | |

Evil Cannot Comprehend Good | |
The Curse of M / int_f8e010ce | comment |
Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Von Rached doesn’t understand why Lorna didn't kill him when she had the chance. The simple truth is that she knows it's what he would do in her place, and she won't be like him. | |

Living Emotional Crutch: Lorna and Ratiri become this for one another eventually. God help anybody who tries to hurt either — hurt one, and the other one will end you. | |

Accidental Murder | |
The Curse of M / int_fd497706 | comment |
Accidental Murder: Lorna did time in prison because she accidentally killed her father. While she wouldn't have done it on purpose, she's also not sorry, because he was a violently abusive alcoholic. | |

Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Averted. Even Katje winds up pretty grimy at times. Lorna’s more cute than beautiful, but she too winds up bloody and dirty on occasion. | |
