Hellebore #3: MALEFICE
Edited by Maria J. Pérez Cuervo
The Malefice Issue, containing an editorial introduction and the following articles…
Lucifer Over Lancashire: Catherine Spooner on how a seventeenth-century witch trial in the North of England continues to inspire the disenfranchised.
Gallery / A Malefice Herbarium: Catherine Winter and Finn Robinson gather a handful of plants that have been used in hexes and charms throughout history.
The Akenham Devil: In a tiny village of Suffolk, the Devil can be summoned out of consecrated ground. Verity Holloway unearths the tragedy that lies beneath this folk belief.
The Curse of Dorian Gray: Thérèse Taylor investigates Oscar and Constance Wilde’s links with the Golden Dawn and the possible consequences of breaking an oath of secrecy.
Conjure Wife: Rebecca Baumann uncovers the real life influences behind the modern horror classic Conjure Wife. In “Domestic Charms,” she discusses the evolution of the trope of the witch wife.
The Deadly Doll of Combe: An obscure mid-century case suggests that effigy magic was still practiced in an idyllic village in Oxfordshire in the 1950s. Thomas Waters tells the story of the deadly doll of Combe and reflects on the power of beauty in effigy magic.
The Museum of Shadows: Towards the end of the 19th century, the British Museum was known as one of the most haunted places in England. Maria J. Pérez Cuervo digs out tales of vengeful mummies and cursed artefacts to reflect on Imperial anxieties.
Supernatural Subversion: Colin J. McCracken on how curses and spells have been used to resist oppressive forces and to promote progressive politics and social change.
The Peculiar Parish Bookshop is proud to carry this third issue of Hellebore. These copies are in new condition.
88-page perfectbound pamphlet with black-and-white and tinted illustrations and photographs throughout.
