In this current day and age, many of us still rely on astrology, tarot reading and a host of other magical goings-on to determine life, a modern day sorcery come to think of it. But did you know the famous town of Salem was a hotspot for witches and sorcery (although some turned out to be false accusations)?
It began in 1962, over an exceptionally raw Massachusetts winter, when a minister’s niece began to scream and convulse.
It ended less than a year later, but not before panic had infected the entire colony, nineteen men and women had been hanged, and a band of adolescent girls had brought Massachusetts to its knees.
This authoritative biography delves into the Salem witch trials that are famous the world over. Some are debunked via Science while some were truly supernatural.
The author has a sharp eye for detail and an uncanny ability to reanimate the dead, reprising their hopes and dreams, pieties and crimes. Reading this was almost like reading an olden days Conjuring, electrifying till the last page.
