It began in 1692, over an exceptionally raw Massachusetts winter, when a minister's niece started to scream & convulse. It ended less than a year later, but not before panic had infected the entire colony, nineteen men & women had been hanged, & a band of adolescent girls had brought Massachusetts to its knees.

Vividly capturing the dark, unsettled atmosphere of seventeenth-century America, Stacy Schiff's magisterial history draws us into this anxious time. She shows us how quickly the epidemic of accusations, trials, & executions span out of control. Above all, Schiff's astonishing research reveals details & complexity that few other historians have seen.
