Ah, Matthew Hopkins - a man overdue for an appointment with the pillory if ever there was one; now SOLOMON KANE, there's a proper Puritan night-stalker for you!
If there's a hell, I'm sure Hopkins is paying his dues, and then some! Solomon Kane is perhaps R E Howards scariest protagonist, because of his religious convictions. But he did do some good monster- and pirate-slaying.
It recently occurred to me to wonder how Master Solomon would handle the aftermath of THE VVITCH; one suspects he'd be rather better qualified to cope with such Infernal goings-on than those pitiful souls who actually appeared in the film!
Vinegar Tom is certainly the coolest critter, but I suspect Sacke & Sugar is related to the beast in Monty Python & the Holy Grail. That rabbit's dynamite! I like how you presented each imp: some elements of familiar, but off center.
If an imp look like an ordinary animal (sort of), then people won't talk about it. Not even demons like to stand out too much from the crowd (Vinegar Tom being an exception).
They're from an alleged confession documented by witchfinder general Matthew Hopkins. These creatures were supposedly servants of a woman accused of witchcraft.
(By the way, splendid work on these familiars).
