Cursed Objects

**THIS EVENT TAKES PLACE IN THE DOVER MIDDLE SCHOOL'S RENAISSANCE ROOM (JEFFREY LEAF THEATER)**

J.W. Ocker profiles the infamous real-life items that have intersected with some of the most notable events and people in history-- leaving death and destruction in their wake. They can be found in museums, graveyards, and private homes, and their bizarre stories have inspired countless horror movies, reality TV shows, novels, and campfire tales. From the Raggedy Ann doll that spawned the horror franchise The Conjuring, to the mummy rumored to have sunk the Titanic and kickstarted World War I, Ocker has compiled a fascinating-- and sometimes spine-chilling-- list of artifacts.

J. W. Ocker is an Edgar Award winning travel writer, horror novelist, and blogger. His nonfiction books include Poe-Land,The New England Grimpendium and The New York Grimpendium, A Season with the Witch, the New York Times-reviewed Cursed Objects, and The United States of Cryptids.
