The Witches of Island Magee

A supernatural graphic novel

This novel was developed by Dr. Victoria McCollum and Dr. Andrew Sneddon. The Witches of Islandmagee is a well-researched rural horror set in the early 18th century in rural Ireland. A witch trial that is recounted as though real, with supernatural solicitings and evocative art that transports the readers to a darker time in Irish, and British, history.
