Reviews
"This book is so fun that I couldn't put it down. It reminded me that life is short, death is nigh and a little humor can help us seize the day just as well as a memento mori."-- The New York Times "I loved J. W. Ocker's Cursed Objects ! This cabinet of cursed curiosities is insanely entertaining and dangerously informative, but be forewarned: you may be cursed with reading it late into the night once you open it."--Lisa Morton, author of Calling the Spirits: A History of Seances and Ghosts: A Haunted History "A deliciously scary and entertaining look into the spooky stuff of nightmares. Through rich histories, adorably macabre illustrations, and a modicum of hilarity, this book will entrance readers until the last page--if you survive that long!"--Lydia Kang, author of Quackery "A fun read that doubles as a jumping off point for those who either want to just enjoy a good story or discover something new to research more in depth."-- FangirlNation, "This book is so fun that I couldn't put it down. It reminded me that life is short, death is nigh and a little humor can help us seize the day just as well as a memento mori."-- The New York Times "A visual feast of a book...this eye-catching miscellany is perfect for anyone who wants a treasure chest of weird trivia to peruse."-- Bustle "Well researched....The entry about the Black Aggie statue in Druid Ridge Cemetery in Pikesville, Maryland, is especially chilling....The only question that remains is, who is courageous enough to brave the myriad scary (and true) stories within?" --Memphis Flyer "I loved J.

From weresheep, to frozen mummies, to my favorite -- the chapters on horrifying objects that have no right to NOT be cursed, J. W. Ocker's Cursed Objects is a delightful overview of all things cursed."--Dylan Thuras, co-founder of Atlas Obscura "Ocker is a solid writer who offers a campfire-tale mystique to his prose."-- Hollywood Soapbox "Anyone who shares a smidge of his passion for the peculiar will want to buy a copy for themselves and one to give away."-- New Hampshire Magazine "An inherently fascinating, informative, and thought-provoking read from cover to cover." -- Midwest Book Review "If you're like me and want it to always be spooky season, this is a book for you." -- Smart Bitches, Trashy Books, "This book is so fun that I couldn't put it down.

Synopsis
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.Inside, readers will learn about- . Annabelle the Doll , a Raggedy Ann doll that featured in the horror franchise The Conjuring . The Unlucky Mummy , which is rumored to have sunk the Titanic and kick-started World War I . The Dybbuk box , which was sold on eBay and spawned the horror film The Possession . The Conjured Chest , which has been blamed for fifteen deaths within a single family . The Ring of Silvianus , a Roman artifact believed to have inspired J. R. R. Tolkien's The Hobbit . And many more!, An illustrated compendium that reveals the true stories behind the most infamous, creepy, and bizarre real-life cursed objects throughout history. Spanning decades and continents, subjects range from the opulent Hope Diamond to the humble Busy Stoop chair. They're lurking in museums, graveyards, and private homes around the world. Their stories have inspired countless horror movies, reality TV shows, campfire tales, books, and even chain emails. They're cursed objects, and in order to unleash a wave of misfortune, all they need...is you. As a culture, we can't seem to get enough of cursed objects. But never before have the true stories of these infamous real-life items been compiled into a fascinating and chilling volume. Entries include: - Annabelle the Doll , a Raggedy Ann doll which inspired the acclaimed horror franchise The Conjuring - The Tomb of Tutankhamen , the discovery of which kicked-started media hysteria over a rumored "Curse of the Pharaohs" - The Ring of Silvianus , a Roman artifact believed to have inspired J. R. R. Tolkien's The Hobbit - The Hope Diamond , which was owned by kings and inspired the Heart of the Ocean in James Cameron's Titanic - The Dybbuk Box , which was sold on eBay and inspired the horror film The Possession Whether you believe in curses or not, the often tragic and always bizarre stories behind these objects will fascinate you. Many of them have intersected with some of the most notable events and people in history. But beyond Hollywood and beyond the hysteria, author J. W. Ocker suggests that cursed objects are simply objects which have been witness to great human tragedy, and thereafter operate as mechanisms for remembering and retelling those stories. Cursed Objects will be equally appealing to true believers as well as history buffs, horror fans, and anyone who loves a good spine-tingling tale.
