About this listen

In this chilling episode of The Enchanted Archives, we delve into the eerie world of cursed poetry and haunted manuscripts that have left trails of madness, despair, and even death across centuries and cultures.

From the forbidden verses of the Abbasid era and the mournful “Weeping Verses” hidden in Cairo’s Al-Azhar archives, to the Victorian poem that sparked tragedy and the infamous Japanese curse known as Tomino’s Hell, we uncover the unsettling stories behind texts that were never meant to be read aloud.

And in a final twist, we confront a modern poem written by artificial intelligence—one so disturbing it was deleted by its creators. Could the most dangerous curses no longer come from ancient ink, but from digital code?

Featuring:– A deadly poem from 9th-century Baghdad– The haunted elegies of medieval Egypt– A Victorian poem that drove readers to ruin– The legend of Tomino’s Hell in Japan– A cursed sonnet found on the streets of Paris– An AI-generated poem with horrifying results

If you love dark folklore, cursed artifacts, literary mysteries, or the shadowy spaces between fiction and fear, this episode is for you.

Available now on all platforms — and on YouTube with Arabic subtitles.
