Cursed Objects: Strange but True Stories of the World's Most Infamous Items

Cursed Fun Audiobook Review: I am still relatively new to audiobooks, and I found this one to be an incredible delight, more than I thought it would be. I reviewed it in early autumn, the perfect time to consider cursed objects with Halloween right around the corner. The book has so many little factoids and stories to keep your interest, and the narrator of this audiobook was fantastic. He had an almost tongue-in-cheek approach, like he was in on a joke and sharing it with you, evoking a surprisingly light-hearted tone and inviting you to be amused along with him. He even added accents and surprising inflections here and there that added to the fun. Despite the title, this is not a horror-filled or scary book at all. The stories for each object are first introduced with some facts, like the original time period, current resting place, and how many people have been supposedly affected by the curse. Many objects are well-known, like the Hope Diamond and King Tut's tomb, but others are less widely known—at least to people like me who don't have a particular interest in this subject. If you have any interest in cursed objects or just like a creepily fun book to listen to or read for Halloween, this book could be right up your alley. I received a free copy of this book, but that did not affect my review.
