“Fear Thy Neighbour” – A Short Story about the Witches of Lorraine: The Trial of Mariette Thomas (1598)

CCASTLE Final Project (Short Story)

This is the fictional witchcraft trial of Mariette Thomas, which took place in Saint-Nicolas-de-Port, Lorraine, in 1598. Although the story of Mariette came from my imagination, much of the information contained within the narrative is based on historical accounts of witchcraft in Lorraine. I hope you get a chance to check out the link!
