CABINET OF CURIOSITIES A Historical Tour of the Unbelievable, the Unsettling, and the Bizarre

Aaron Mahnke narrates his own audiobook, based on his popular and delightful podcast "Aaron Mahnke's Cabinet of Curiosities" (as well as the earlier "Lore"). As a podcaster, Mahnke certainly knows how to inject the right amount of wonder, humor, and pithiness as he delivers his stories of obscure, coincidental, and highly bizarre events in American history. Included are tidbits such as these: a janitor who was hit by a baby falling out of a window on two separate occasions (no one was hurt), a gentleman who was struck by lightning three times, and the miraculous origin of actor Frank Morgan's coat in THE WIZARD OF OZ. The brevity of the tales is perfect for short commutes, bedtime, or just a light listen. D.G. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2025]
