From whispered rumors to show trials, sleep deprivation to the executioner’s blade, this is what it actually meant to be called a witch — whether you were one or not.Told in immersive second-person narration, this slow, darkly dry bedtime story pulls you through the entire ordeal: the gossip, the torture, the confession, the names you’re forced to give — and the final walk to the scaffold.🛏️ Drowsy Historian’s Favorite Sleep ToolsLooking to upgrade your nighttime routine?
