Possessed By the Devil: Islandmagee Witches is a sharp, gripping account of one of Ireland’s most disturbing witch trials, eerie, well‑researched, and surprisingly bingeable. Its impact feels especially timely with the new memorial plaque at the Gobbins Visitor Centre and the restored memorial stone beneath the Willow sculpture in Islandmagee, finally acknowledging the injustice of 1711. History, drama, and long‑overdue recognition in one compelling read.
