Hunting down sequels online is one of my little obsessions, so I dove into this one with gusto. First off, the phrase "the curses novel" can mean different things to different readers, so I usually start by locking onto one reliable identifier: the author's name or the official series title. If you know the author, search their official site and publisher page first—most authors list sequels, short stories, and planned releases there.
Goodreads and WorldCat are lifesavers because they show publication order and editions; if a book has a sequel, those sites will usually list it and link to corresponding editions. I also check ISBNs, because sequels often share series metadata that turns up in library catalogs and retailer listings.
Second, where to
read them online depends on whether they’re officially published, indie, or fan-made. Official sequels will show up on publisher sites, Amazon/Kindle, Apple Books,
kobo, and sometimes as library loans through OverDrive/Libby. Indie sequels often appear on the author’s website, Patreon, or platforms like
smashwords and Draft2Digital. For serialized or web-original works, RoyalRoad,
webnovel,
wattpad, and Scribble Hub are common homes. Fan continuations or unofficial translations often live on places like Archive of Our Own or specialized translation blogs—just be mindful of legality and quality with those. If you’re into older or public-domain works, Project Gutenberg or Internet Archive could surprise you with related material.
Finally, I always try to confirm whether something is an official sequel or a spin-off or even a shared-universe short story. Look for publisher blurbs, ISBNs, and author statements. Also watch out for omnibus editions that collect multiple entries—sometimes a ‘‘sequel’’ is just a reissue in a different format. If translations are your thing, check whether they’re authorized; translator notes on the hosting site are a good clue. Personally I subscribe to a couple of author newsletters and set up alerts on Goodreads for series updates—patience pays off when a sequel drops.
if you tell me the exact title or author next time I’d happily point to the exact link, but meanwhile I hope these hunting tips help you track down whatever cursed tale you want to continue—happy sleuthing and even happier reading!
