Witchcraft Expert Malcolm Gaskill Breaks Down Famous Witches in Films & TV

Historian Malcolm Gaskill joins us to break down depictions of witches and witch-hunts from movies and TV shows, including The Witches, Doctor Who, Witchfinder General, Jonestown, and Hocus Pocus. Order The Ruin of All Witches here: https://amzn.to/3MKid1F The Ruin of All Witches tells the dark, real-life folktale of witch-hunting in a remote Massachusetts plantation. These were the turbulent beginnings of colonial America, when English settlers' dreams of love and liberty, of founding a 'city on a hill', gave way to paranoia and terror, enmity and rage. Drawing on uniquely rich, previously neglected source material, Malcolm Gaskill brings to life a New World existence steeped in the divine and the diabolic, in curses and enchantments, and precariously balanced between life and death. Through the gripping micro-history of a family tragedy, we glimpse an entire society caught in agonised transition between supernatural obsessions and the age of enlightenment. We see, in short, the birth of the modern world. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe to the Penguin channel: http://po.st/SubscribePenguinYouTube Follow us here: Twitter |   / penguinukbooks   Website | http://www.penguin.co.uk Instagram |   / penguinukbooks   Facebook |   / penguinbooks
