The Devil in Massachusetts: A Modern Enquiry into the Salem Witch Trials
by By Starkey, Marion Lena
Category: History , United States , Colonial Period (1600-1775)

This historical narrative of the Salem witch trials takes its dialogue from actual trial records but applies modern psychiatric knowledge to the witchcraft hysteria. Starkey's sense of drama also vividly recreates the atmosphere of pity and terror that fostered the evil and suffering of this human tragedy.
