![]() While I enjoy history, I didn't exactly enjoy the manner in which the author recited the lore. The first half of the book is an examination of the city's entire history, the second half gets more into the weird stuff. One half thinks they are disgracing the legacy of the victims of the witch trials, while the other half thinks that they are honoring them. One where half the residents want to be known for arts and culture and the other half is proud of all the Halloween fun. It was interesting to find out that Salem only really began putting an emphasis on Halloween a few decades ago. Now, this isn't the book to pick up if you're looking to learn about the Witch Trials like myself, but it is the one to pick up if you've been wondering just how weird Salem gets around Halloween. ![]() ![]() We all know the basic outlines of the Witch Trials but this book just proved to myself that I don't know enough. ![]() The allure of Salem, Massachusetts is a large one if you're someone who revels in Halloween and/or history. ![]()
