Emotional, well researched, informative. There's a lot to love in this graphic novel, there's the tragedy of intolerance and superstition, there's the courage of a man, there's writers and stories
A great graphic novel
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this ARC, all opinions are mine

It's clear there was a lot of love and research that went into making this story. The art is wonderful, and while the style was similar for each person, I had no trouble telling one character apart from another. When we think of Salem today, we often get caught up in the Hocus Pocus of it all and just think "Fall! Spooky Season! Witches!" that we often forget this was a truly dark time that had truly innocent victims. Stories like this give those victims a voice, and serve as a reminder that there were real people behind the stories that we know.

When it comes to the Salem Witch Trials, I am very familiar with names like Sarah Goode, Tituba, and Abigail Williams. And while I recognize the Coreys' name as people who were accused, I really didn't now much about Giles and and Martha (outside of what the Crucible showed me), and I don't even really know why. Retellings that I have found just don't focus on them for some reason. I found this story to be educational, riveting, and heartbreaking all at the same time.

Wow what a powerful book! The attention to detail was incredible! The work he put into this, the research, the different writings, the different drawings to depict the time, weaving the lore, the truth and pop culture, phenomenal. So, the next time you walk down the streets of Salem, don't glorify it. Call it what it is.

Thank you Netgalley, Top shelf and Ben Wickey for this advance copy. What an absolute treat! My opinions are my own.

Love the art work that has gone into this and think the story itself is really interesting. Only negative I had was I did find the font tricky to follow sometimes but that’s just a preference for me.
