About this listen

An investigation into the historical and archaeological evidence of demons, curses, and possession, featuring some of the most gruesome artifacts and sites ever discovered

Demons, jinn, possession, sinister artifacts, and gruesome archaeological discoveries haunt this new book by Dr. Heather Lynn. Evil Archaeology investigates the archaeological record for artifacts and evidence of evil entities, revealing how demons from the ancient world may be dwelling among us. It also looks at the history and lore behind real relics believed to be haunted and includes historical accounts of demonic possession that go as far back as King Solomon invoking demons to help him build his famed temple.

Is there really a prehistoric fertility goddess figure that has been known to bring death to the families of anyone who holds it? Are there real vampire graveyards? Can the archaeological record prove the existence of demons and malevolent entities?

Some tantalizing questions Evil Archaeology addresses include:

  • What is the origin of demons?
  • What role did Sumerian demons play in the development of civilization?
  • Are curses real?
  • Can material objects contain evil? What about places?
  • What can we do to protect ourselves, according to historical records?
  • Was Jesus an exorcist?

The Devil Made Me Rate It

A must read / listen if you’re an edgy teen, unrepentant goth or fatally curious.

Kind of flat narration though.

Enjoyable for the most part

A very well-researched and engaging book but I really struggled with the narration as I found it a bit flat and robotic. I feel bad saying that because I know the narrator is a professional narrator but something just didn’t work for me. Perhaps the wrong type of voice or tone for the content being read? I’m not sure. I could only listen for about 10-15 minutes at a time before switching off.

Excellent information, poorly read.

The AI voice was unbearable. Caveat emptor. A shame because the subject matter is intriguing.

Scholarly

I have no idea why this work received negative feedback. True that it is a scholarly work and therefore if you are looking for sensationalism then you will be disappointed. However, this book has been written by someone who clearly has extensive academic knowledge on the subject being discussed.

Highly recommended.

Really Interesting

Wide range of sources and topics, many cultures touched upon. The author's own experience added an interesting background to this collection of findings.

5 star book. 1 star narration

An excellent book, full of fascinating details, completely ruined by a dull, monotonous narration that makes Alexa sound positively brimming with nuance and character. Fortunately for me, I own a copy of the book, so I could look up whatever word the narrator mangled and find out exactly what she was talking about.

I'm very tired of poor narrators spoiling good books. If they're going to read it, the least they could do for the money is find out how to pronounce things. It's shockingly unprofessional.

Weird but interesting

This book seems to veer between trying to be a serious academic text complete with citations to regurgitating tales of hauntings that can be heard in a hundred spooky podcasts. Nonetheless if you skip the yarns about possessed objects it contains
some interesting and novel facts.The author stretches credibility at the end by suggesting that a series of unconnected unfortunate events were due to a demon that had attached itself to a second hand book on the occult which then leapt into her cat..
The most terrifying thing about this audio book is however the narrator who describes demon possession and human sacrifice with all the enthusiasm of a recitation of a grocery list. The devil may have all the best tunes but he seems to a suffer a shortage of voice over artists.
