    About this audiobook

    Beware . . . this book is cursed! These strange but true stories of the world's most infamous items will appeal to true believers as well as history buffs, horror fans, and anyone who loves a good spine-tingling tale.

    They're lurking in museums, graveyards, and private homes. Their often tragic and always bizarre stories have inspired countless horror movies, reality TV shows, novels, and campfire tales. They're cursed objects, and all they need to unleash a wave of misfortune is . . . you.

    Many of these unfortunate items have intersected with some of the most notable events and people in history, leaving death and destruction in their wake. But never before have the true stories of these eerie oddities been compiled into a fascinating and chilling volume.

      This was a fun book! It’s a book on cursed objects, it isn’t meant to be taken too seriously and the author injects it with humor throughout. It was well researched and well written. The narration was also good.
    • 5/5
      I do love how this is (possibly) the most thorough collection of information on cursed objects and was published the year COVID went international. Coincidence? Or curse?
