Help us celebrate Halloween by joining this special Zoom program with guest author J.W. Ocker! J.W. Ocker has visited many odd things in his career as a seeker of the strange. But his latest book, Cursed Objects: Strange But True Stories of the World’s Most Infamous Items, involves not just the weird and macabre, but the supernaturally dangerous. He’ll share the stories of some of the most infamous cursed objects in the world, while discussing where to find them and how he fell in love with them.

*Participants of this Zoom program will be entered to win a copy of Cursed Objects at the end of the program!
