VAL MCDERMID, author of <i>Past Lying</i><br><br><b>'As well as highly entertaining read, How To Kill A Witch is a tour de force of research, understanding and compassion.' PROFESSOR SUE BLACK, author of <i>All That Remains.</i></b></p><p>'Serious and angry, but so completely accessible, <i>How To Kill A Witch </i>is a work of real historical investigation and a fierce warning for our times.' <b>MALCOLM GASKILL, author of <i>The Ruin Of All Witches</i></b></p><p><b>'At a time when women's rights are once again being threatened across the globe, this book could not be a more timely read if it tried.' SHIRLEY</b><b> MANSON, Garbage</b></p><p><b>'Two of Scotland's most vivid storytellers.' <i>THE TIMES</i></b></p><p><b>'Fascinating, angering' <i>THE MAIL ON SUNDAY </i></b></p><p>As a woman, if you lived in Scotland in the 1500s, there was a very good chance that you, or someone you knew, would be tried as a witch. Witch hunts ripped through the country for over 150 years, with at least 4,000 accused, and with many women's fates sealed by a grizzly execution of strangulation, followed by burning.</p><p>Inspired to correct this historic injustice, campaigners and writers Claire Mitchell, KC, and Zoe Venditozzi, have delved deeply into just why the trials exploded in Scotland to such a degree. In order to understand why it happened, they have broken down the entire horrifying process, step-by-step, from identification of individuals, to their accusation, 'pricking', torture, confessions, execution and beyond.</p><p>With characteristically sharp wit and a sense of outrage, they attempt to inhabit the minds of the persecutors, often men, revealing the inner workings of exactly why the Patriarchy went
