Eric Maple – The Dark World Of Witches (Pan, 1965)
Witches who claimed to have had intercourse with the devil – and described their experience …
The macabre charms used to ward off witches …
The horror of the medieval tortures and executions – hundreds of women hanged, or set ablaze on tar barrels …
The Dark World Of Witches is a comprehensive history of British witchcraft which incorporates information that has never before appeared in print – the results of original research by the author.
It is a book to chill the blood.
Reading at times like horror fiction, it is, on the contrary, all too terribly true.
