Cursed Objects: Strange But True Stories of the World's Most Infamous Items by J.W. Ocker
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This little beauty caught my eye for two reasons: that cover is amazing, and cursed objects intrigue me. Besides, I'm always looking for new research fodder for my own stories. 😁
I had a LOT of fun reading this book, and liked the awesome illustrations throughout. The hardcover edition is stunning and packed full of interesting info. As well as some unexpected humour, which I wasn't expecting but really enjoyed.
There were quite a few objects that I already knew something about, but so many I didn't. After all, I'm a huge fan of creepy dolls. And OMG, there's even a section that covers chain emails. I remember when these were huge and packed full of urban legends.
I also found the Antikythera Mechanism absolutely fascinating and will have to find out more.
This might look like a thick book, but it's a breeze to get through.
I'm adding this creepy volume to my Keeper Shelf! 💀
