More about the book

Set in a 16th-century Bavarian alpine village, the narrative explores the life of Chonrad Stoeckhlin, a horse wrangler whose vivid visions of the afterlife and involvement in the occult incite fear and hysteria. This panic leads to tragic consequences, including his execution and the deaths of several women accused of witchcraft. Wolfgang Behringer, a distinguished historian of German witchcraft, skillfully weaves together historical detail with compelling storytelling, shedding light on the era's superstitions and societal tensions.
