'Here is foam from a mad dog’s lips, gather’d beneath the moon’s eclipse, ashes of a shroud consumed, and with deadly vapor fumed. These within the mess I cast-stir the caldron-stir it fast!'Historical novelist William Harrison Ainsworth took the court records of the 1612 Pendle witch trials and turned them into a 'triple decker' novel, The Lancashire Witches, centered around the claims of necromancy allegedly committed by the Chattox and Demdike families.Curated and edited by C.S.R. Calloway, Horror Historia brings together the most influential monsters and original gothic stories in one blood-curdling collection.
