Summary

The Pendle Witches England 1600's 
Book 7 of 7  James Device 
The books are fictionally based on the true names and part facts of seven of the accused witches involved being sentenced to death mostly, although innocent, and is as follows: 
 James Device, the quick-tempered but imaginative youngest son of the infamous Device witch clan, used his gift for storytelling to navigate the harsh realities of 1612 Lancashire. His tales of spectral black dogs and forest spirits, once told to entertain his young sister Jennet, became damning evidence when magistrate Roger Nowell twisted them into a forced witchcraft confession. After his grandmother Demdike's death in prison and his mother Elizabeth's arrest, James' angry words to a neighbor about a sick cow were recast as magical curses. His own invented character - a familiar named Dandy - sealed his fate when interrogators weaponized his imagination against him. At the Lancaster trials, even Jennet's coached testimony condemned him. On August 20, 1612, the 18-year-old's final shouted protest of innocence was drowned by the crowd as the noose tightened, making him the tragic embodiment of how creativity could become fatal in the witch panic hysteria.  
This is the final book in a series of seven audiobooks and I do hope you enjoyed ,(might not be the appropriate word, them, and only 3 dollars each. 
the initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2  minutes plus, called Haunting Elegy, uses flute and harp to set the scene of witches living life as they could. The closing music ends in a sad way, called Melancholy same instrumental at nearly 3 minutes as the fate that befalls these innocent people awaits them.!  
The story itself runs to about 30 minutes, and and is narrated in my own voice.
