Cursed Things. Stories about the most notorious objects

Beware... this book is cursed! As are all the objects described in it. They hide in museums, cemeteries, and private homes. Their tragic and always unusual stories have inspired horror films, reality shows, novels, and campfire tales. To unleash a... wave of misfortunes, they only need... you.
Many of these unfortunate items played a key role in famous events, belonged to important figures, and left only destruction and death in their wake. Here you will find stories about:

• the Annabelle doll from the horror franchise «The Conjuring»;
• the cursed mummy that allegedly sank the «Titanic» and started World War I;
• the dibbuk box, which inspired the film «The Possession»;
• the Senician ring, a Roman artifact that inspired J.R.R. Tolkien to create «The Hobbit»;
• museums, songs, phone numbers, and many other seemingly unremarkable things.

Look in your closet or drawer. Perhaps that grandmother's ring has long been wishing you death?
