A Storm of Witchcraft
Emerson W. Baker
"If you read one book about the Salem Witch Trials, make it A Storm of Witchcraft. It's thorough; addresses succinctly everything from the trials' causes to their aftermath through current-day Salem; and it's enjoyable to read!"


Beginning in January 1692, young women in Salem Village in colonial Massachusetts complained of torments that caused them to write, shriek, and contort. The horrified community began to hunt down those responsible for the demonic work, and the resulting trials culminated in the execution of 19 innocent people. A Storm of Witchcraft shows how a host of elements gathered and swelled to erupt in the witch trials, and how Salem's legacy endures to this day.
