A Curse So Dark and Lonely is a young adult fantasy novel written by Brigid Kemmerer. It tells the story of a young girl named Harper who is taken from modern-day Washington, D.C. into a parallel fantasy world called Emberfall. In Emberfall, she meets Prince Rhen, who is cursed to repeat the autumn of his eighteenth year until a girl falls in love with him. The appropriate age for reading A Curse So Dark and Lonely is mainly teenagers and young adults, typically between the ages of 13 to 18.

With the benefit of a half century’s hindsight, it can be argued that despite massive creativity and talent, Badfinger was star-crossed nearly from its start.

Badfinger – Magic Christian Music

LINEUP: Pete Ham, Tom Evans, Ron Griffiths, Mike Gibbins. A little help from Nicky Hopkins and Paul McCartney.

WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT: Semi ‘soundtrack’ to The Magic Christian adds several other tracks, including some older ones from a pulled album, to the three recorded for the movie. It’s as disjointed as it sounds.

SOME WORDS, PHRASES AND CLAUSES ABOUT THIS RECORD: The Iveys were one of the first bands singed to Apple, and they released a record in three countries before it was halted. In a few short months, they were commissioned for tracks for Ringo’s new movie, and changed their name to Badfinger. The single from the film, “Come and Get It”, written by Sir Paul McCartney, was a big hit.

Due to some legal shenanigans, the official soundtrack wasn’t readily available, so Apple dug out some Iveys tracks, and some other unreleased songs and, viola, an album was produced.

There’s some good tracks around, such as “Crimson Ship” and “Midnight Sun”. But some tracks are too derivative, or don’t really go anywhere. It does sound like the work of two or three sessions with different motives stuck together. Plus, the songs as the Iveys really are a step behind the others.

NOTES & MINUTIAE: Original guitarist Ron Griffiths left after the sessions, but before this was released.

IS THERE A DELUXE VERSION: Yes, with a lot of the tracks from the original Iveys album. Nothing earth shaking but a couple tracks could have been swapped out with the official album tracks.

GRADE: B: Not really a great introduction to the band, but there’s some good tracks here.

In the years that followed, the members of Badfinger endured a series of hardships that compounded one another dramatically. Apple’s financial meltdown had weighed heavily on the band and at one time, the members of Badfinger shared an apartment with no furniture. Pete Ham had trouble providing for his wife and their newly born child. His songs and the songs of his bandmates, meanwhile, lit up the radio. After the release of their second record, “No Dice,” the infamous Stan Polley was brought on as manager. Polley, later implicated as a mob extortionist, almost immediately began siphoning copious amounts of money into his own pockets. Two albums later, the band signed a new contract with Warner Brothers. Polley extorted $250,000 within the first year. In perhaps the saddest twist, though this shadowy embezzlement was happening unbeknownst to the band, it led to a lawsuit against not Stan Polley, but against Stan Polley and Badfinger. This legal battle with their own label instantly nullified their recording contract and Badfinger’s career was essentially destroyed. In April of 1975, a 27 year old Pete Ham was found hanged in his garage. He left a note that read, “Stan Polley is a soulless bastard. I will take him with me.” It is known that Tom Evans was called to the house, where he is said to have stared at his friend’s body. Eight years later, broke and defeated, Evans also hung himself, in what was perhaps the final note of harmony performed by the two of them.

Harper and Prince Rhen's relationship is at the heart of the story, as they navigate their roles and responsibilities in Emberfall and work together to break the curse. It explores themes of love, sacrifice, and self-discovery in a fantastical setting. The novel also tackles issues such as disability representation, as Harper has cerebral palsy, and the importance of empathy and understanding when faced with those who are different from ourselves. While the book does contain some violence and darker themes, such as war and political intrigue, it is not overly graphic or explicit. It is written in a way that is accessible to young adult readers and can be enjoyed by those who are interested in fantasy and romance. Overall, A Curse So Dark and Lonely is a captivating and thought-provoking read that is suitable for teenagers and young adults. It provides an engaging blend of fantasy, romance, and adventure, making it a compelling choice for readers in this age group..
