It was fun and a very fine read, but some parts where the tone turned jokier felt a bit dry to me and made it hard for me to finish this book. Very intriguing set of cursed objects to learn about though, along with a vast variety of objects, locations, and people that were featured.
As a horror fan, I was excited to read this book. It didn't disappoint. J.W. Ocker did extensive research on cursed and not so cursed but should be cursed objects. I knew a few, but there was so many objects I didn't even know about, can technology really be cursed? Ocker's findings were presented informatively but with a bit of humor. I would recommend this to anyone not just horror fans.

such a fun read honestly! it's a topic i'm already interested in so i knew about some of the objects mentioned before i read it, but i still liked how the author added some personal experiences and comments, so it entertained me nevertheless. i love me some well researched books on topics i enjoy!
I was hoping for something more detailed but most of the info you can take out from Wikipedia articles. Might be a good start if you know absolutely nothing about cursed objects but ultimately, I wouldn't waste my money on it if I were you
