This anthology seamlessly weaves together scholarly essays and literary works, highlighting the evolution of witchcraft from feared folklore to a subject of historical inquiry. The collection boasts a remarkable diversity in writing styles, ranging from the narrative to the analytic, each enriching the central contrast between historical truths and mythologized versions of witchcraft. Notable within the collection are in-depth examinations of major witch trials and supernatural occurrences contextualized within the broader societal implications they engendered. The authors and editors of this anthology are scholars and literary figures who have significantly contributed to the study of folklore, history, and the supernatural across various cultures and epochs. Figures like Bram Stoker and M. Schele de Vere bring to the compilation a deep understanding of the Gothic and eerie, which complements the factual historiography provided by historians like William Godwin and George Moir.
