Join our March/April Read... The Ruin of All Witches by Malcolm Gaskill

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.   As a member of our global History Hit Book Club, you'll not only get £5 towards the book, but you'll get exclusive access to a live online Q&A with the author.    If you join today, your first payment will be taken on 1 April.
