Why read it?
1 author picked Witchcraft at Salem as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
While I do not agree with all of the author’s conclusions, this book showed me the prevalence of folk-charms in the culture, as well as the psychological reactions humans have to stress that could explain some of what happened with the “bewitched.”
From Marilynne's list on why the Salem Witch Trials occurred.
