Title: Morbidly Curious: A Scientist Explains Why We Can’t Look Away
Author: Coltan Scrivner
Narrator: Coltan Scrivner
Length: 6 hrs and 12 mins
This was a fascinating look at why people are morbidly curious. It covers all different kinds of reasons why humans are drawn to horror, ghosts, murder, violent games, etc., and how it all stems from our evolutionary history.
From the beginning, this book had me hooked on how it explains our fascination with morbidly curious things. As someone who is morbidly curious and reads a lot of books about death, the paranormal, and watches a lot of horror movies, this book really helped me understand myself a little better. Also I never knew there was so much research being done into being morbidly curious, but I really enjoyed learning about it.
Overall, this was a fantastic look at human nature and I highly recommend it. I feel like I need to reread this already because it was just so fascinating and I want this information to really sink in.
