Unhinged History

The Most Wild, Absurd & Unfiltered Short Stories That Were Not Taught in School

De: Cozy Nook Books

Narrado por: Rudy Eisenzopf

Think history is just boring dates and dusty old dudes? Get ready to have your mind blown!

Are you convinced history is a snoozefest? What if we told you the past is packed with moments so bonkers, so hilariously weird, they make viral videos look tame? From armies declaring war on birds (and losing!) to popes putting corpses on trial, real history is way stranger than any fiction!

If textbooks are a total yawn, or if you secretly love the most unbelievable "Wait, that actually happened?!" moments, then this book is screaming your name.

Unhinged History isn't your grandma's history lesson (unless your grandma is secretly awesome and knows about bat bombs). It's a laugh-out-loud, jaw-dropping collection of the most bizarre true tales that prove the past was a wild, wacky, and wonderfully weird place. Get ready for history, but with all the boring bits surgically removed and replaced with pure WTF-ery!

Inside Unhinged History, you'll discover:

• The time Australia's army went to war with emus... and the emus kicked their butts!
• An emperor who loved his horse so much he tried to make it a top government official (seriously).
• How a pope dug up a rotting corpse, dressed it in fancy robes, and put it on trial.
• The genius plan to use bomb-strapped bats in World War II (spoiler: it was a bit of a flap).
• The exploding whale incident that showered a town in blubber (you can't make this stuff up!).
• A government trying to get rid of snakes by paying for dead ones, only to end up with more snakes (oops!).
• When a city was flooded not with water, but with sticky, gooey molasses.
• The man who declared himself emperor of America... and people just kind of went along with it!

And so many more absolutely bonkers, unbelievable, and 100% true stories that school definitely skipped!

Unfiltered and Unforgettable.

The title doesn't lie. These stories are completely unfiltered, raw, and wonderfully weird. I found myself thinking about them long after the audiobook ended. Very helpful.

A Breath of Fresh Air!

I was tired of predictable stories, and this audiobook was a breath of fresh air. The stories are unlike anything I've ever heard—wildly imaginative and laugh-out-loud funny.

Makes You Question Everything.

These stories are not just entertaining; they're thought-provoking. They make you question the absurdities of life and the world around you. Thanks to the author.

Narrator is a Genius!

The narrator's performance is what makes this audiobook truly shine. They perfectly capture the absurd and unfiltered tone of the stories. A masterful performance.

Perfect for the Short Attention Span..

The short-story format is perfect. I could listen to one on my commute and still feel like I had a complete, mind-bending experience. I recommend this book.
