Book description
Delve into the intersections between witchcraft, feminism, sociology, and history with this extensively researched and illuminating look at witch hunts past and present. As the descendent of Martha Carrier, an accused woman executed at Salem, Alice Markham-Cantor presents a riveting story that spans centuries and brings the historical significance of the witch trials into modern times. Told through alternating fiction and non-fiction chapters, this book reveals a shocking truth: contrary to popular opinion, the witch hunts never ended. Alice shares research that suggests tens of thousands of witch hunt-related deaths have happened all over the world in the last thirty years. The Once & Future Witch Hunt also features tantalizing glimpses into Alice's ancestors' lives and reimagines the trials through fact-based fiction. This book gives us as authentic a retelling as may ever be possible while trying to answer that single, irrepressible question: how could this have happened?

A functional audiobook production that met basic requirements. The narrator's voice was pleasant enough to listen to for extended periods, though their performance didn't add much interpretation to the text. The audio engineering was competent without being remarkable.
