CURSED - Stories and legends of bewitched objects

The ring that Tolkien remembered for The Hobbit, the mummy who would be responsible for the sinking of the Titanic, the fabric doll who became the heroine of the Annabelle films, a bloodthirsty Japanese sword, a wooden chair on which you should not not sit down... Exhibited in strange museums or supposedly missing, they are only objects, but cursed objects. Each of their stories, always strange, sometimes tragic, gave birth to legends, inspiring popular culture, nourishing novelists and screenwriters. Across time and continents, this book recounts the fascinating destiny of more than forty of these bewitched artifacts, thus revealing an unknown and fantastic side of our past and its evil spells.
