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.
