🎧Audiobook

by J.W. Ocker

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5

Dive deep into J.W. Ockers study and research into strange and cursed objects around the world! He meticulously investigates tales and lore behind many of history’s most famous cursed objects and many lesser known.

I was rapt in his tales and facts he provided for each object. His writing style for this topic had an easy story teller-like flow and made made these dark and cursed objects into fascinating tales. I was hoped from the beginning. I have read many listicles and watched similar YouTube videos on this subject and I found Ocker’s research much more thorough and engaging.

The narration of this book flowed well and made it easy to get lost in the cursed objects and tales described. I felt that it was like listening to a conversation in the way the narrator’s speech flowed, making it easy to keep up with and stay interested in. I thoroughly enjoyed this narrators voice and cadence.

I was enraptured by the tales told and I found myself on a tablet as I listened looking up images of the objects as I listened. I plan on purchasing a copy the physical book in the near future! This was a great book and fun audiobook, I highly recommend it.

Cursed Objects by J.W. Ocker is scheduled to release September 15th, 2020.

I received a complimentary copy of this audiobook from Tantor Audio, via NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
