Book curse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For him that stealeth, or borroweth and returneth not, this book from its owner, let it change into a serpent in his hand and rend him. Let him be struck with palsy, and all his members blasted. Let him languish in pain crying out for mercy, & let there be no surcease to his agony till he sing in dissolution. Let bookworms gnaw his entrails ... when at last he goeth to his final punishment, let the flames of Hell consume him forever.

This is all out of (I believe) Bell's Food for the Dead, which is a really interesting book covering New England vampire folklore.
