Did you know that witches were seen as scapegoats during the time of the Plague, forced to take on the blame for the horrors it caused?
When a plague strikes, terror runs rampant. The uncertainty that takes hold and the threat against so many lives is enough to make anyone scared. Unfortunately, with this fear comes a need to find something, or someone, to blame, in a desperate attempt to regain a sense of control. And where better to direct this fear and anger than toward the nebulous and easily accused witches?
Join us for a talk with DG Fitzgerald to learn more about the tie between the Plague and existing superstitions, and how this historical context inspired aspects of Fitzgerald's new book in the Abigail and Caurinus fantasy series.
