We admit, at The Hobcast Book Show, that we can be a little obsessed with the modern phenomenon of "cancel culture" - and how rumour, innuendo and group think has the potential to destroy lives. It has echoes of another period of English history, the Civil War, where witch-finding became an obsession for a society riven along political and religious lines. It's the era in which our guest this week, Stacey Thomas, has set her brilliant debut novel, The Revels. Set in 1645, Stacey brings us a dark tale of witchcraft and the paranormal set against the background of the Civil War. This is a truly fascinating interview .
Also this week, in a change to our regular format, Adrian reflects on a very difficult week where his mental health issues came to the fore, and Rebecca shares the impact events have had on her, our wider families and Hobeck Books itself.
