Written by a direct descendant of Martha Carrier, who was hanged for witchcraft in 1692, This book is a haunting account of the horrors that enveloped Salem during the infamous Salem witch trials. Based on the accusations of a dozen young girls, neighbor is pitted against neighbor, friend against friend, nd the hysteria escalates, sweeping more than 200 men, women and children into prison on charges of witchcraft.
