About this listen

A detailed account of one of the strangest and most shocking episodes in American history, written by the author of "The Lottery".

Stories of magic, superstition, and witchcraft were strictly forbidden in the little town of Salem Village. But a group of young girls ignored those rules, spellbound by the tales told by a woman named Tituba. When questioned about their activities, the terrified girls set off a whirlwind of controversy as they accused townsperson after townsperson of being witches. Author Shirley Jackson examines in careful detail this horrifying true story of accusations, trials, and executions that shook a community to its foundations.

The book was written in the 50s and there has been a lot of new information that came out but everything that was said here is all true and the reasons why it happened in the first place don't matter. It's just that it did happen and it discusses the start of the frenzy and what happened after it had ended. You won't be disappointed.

excellent for the times
