"An entertaining and suspenseful drama that is also a cautionary tale for our times."Boston Globe
"...Hill aims to tell the story of the witchcraft trials for a lay audience -- accessibly, with minimal scholarly apparatus....in short...[she] marries imagined and imaginary pats in a responsible way....But, in the end, this book isnow what the public (or students in university survey courses) ought to be reading...[because it] is not accurate or informed enough to pass muster....." -- The Women's Review of Books
