Description

For 3 centuries, because the Black Death rampaged via Europe and the Reformation tore the Church apart, tens of thousands were arrested as witches and subjected to torture and execution, together with being burned alive. This graphic novel examines the background; the witch hunters’ strategies; who profited; the brave few who protested; and the way the Enlightenment step by step replaced concern and superstition with explanation why and science. Famed witch hunters Heinrich Kramer, architect of the infamous Malleus Maleficarum, and Matthew Hopkins, England’s notorious “Witchfinder General,” are coated as are the Salem Witch Trials and the last executions in Europe.

WITCH HUNTS RECEIVED THE BRAM STOKER AWARD® FOR SUPERIOR ACHIEVEMENT IN A GRAPHIC NOVEL AT THE WORLD HORROR CONVENTION IN NEW ORLEANS ON JUNE 15, 2013.
