Witch Stories

This macabre collection of rich folkloric short stories about witches not only details the shocking tortures inflicted on those accused of witchcraft over the centuries, but also delves into a wider fascination of what lies beneath the fabric of so-called "polite society." Read accounts such as “The Tale of Madame Cabene,” a story about an English woman charged with vampirism in rural France, and you will better understand historical attitudes towards women, national identity, and the metaphysical and spiritual worlds. These chilling tales will not only entertain and inform, but will also raise your consciousness about attitudes towards the supernatural, witchcraft and women.
