In this week’s Macabre feature we will be diving into the murderous scandal known as The Affair of the Poisons that took place in France during the reign of Louis XIV. Join me as we uncover the dark secrets riddled with murders and the occult churning within the aristocratic circle of the king and how a mysterious figure known as La Voisin became the epicenter of the horror that would unfold.
