Witchcraft and Magic in Europe, Volume 5
The roots of European witchcraft and magic lie in Hebrew and other ancient Near Eastern cultures and in the Celtic, Nordic, and Germanic traditions of the Continent. For two millennia, European folklore and ritual have been imbued with the belief in the supernatural, yielding a rich trove of histories and images.
A series that combines traditional approaches of political, legal, and social historians with critical syntheses of cultural anthropology, historical psychology, and gender studies, Witchcraft and Magic in Europe provides a modern, scholarly survey of the supernatural beliefs of Europeans from ancient times to the present day. Each of the six volumes in the series contains the work of distinguished scholars chosen for their expertise in a particular era or region.
The eighteenth century saw the end of witch trials everywhere. The authors chart the process of and reasons for the decriminalization of witchcraft, but also challenge the widespread assumption that Europe then became "disenchanted." Here for the first time are surveys of the social role of witchcraft in European communities, as well as a full treatment of Victorian supernaturalism and of the continued importance of witchcraft and magic as topics of debate among intellectuals and other writers.

I really tried to enjoy "Remington and the curse of the brain eaters," but I just couldn't get into it. The story felt disjointed, and the characters didn't have depth or development. The dialogue was clunky and unrealistic, making it difficult to connect with the narrative. I also found the plot to be predictable and lacking in excitement. Overall, I was disappointed with this book and wouldn't recommend it to others.
2. Mike - 1 star
"Remington and the curse of the brain eaters" was a complete letdown for me. The writing was subpar with weak descriptions and repetitive phrases. The pacing was all over the place, jumping from one scene to another without proper transitions. The author relied too heavily on clichés and didn't bring anything new or original to the genre. Additionally, the plot twists were predictable, and the ending felt rushed and unsatisfying. I regret spending my time on this book and would advise others to avoid it.

I expected "Remington and the curse of the brain eaters" to be an exciting and thrilling read, but it fell short of my expectations. The characters lacked depth and the dialogue felt forced. The story itself had potential, but the execution was lackluster. The pacing was uneven, with slow moments dragging on and action-packed scenes feeling rushed. I also found several plot holes that were never addressed, leaving me frustrated and confused. I was hoping for a gripping adventure, but unfortunately, this book didn't deliver.
