Book excerpt: A haunting examination of groupthink and mass hysteria in a rural community A Penguin Classic "I believe that the reader will discover here the essential nature of one of the strangest and most awful chapters in human history," Arthur Miller wrote in an introduction to The Crucible, his classic play about the witch-hunts and trials in seventeenth-century Salem, Massachusetts. Based on historical people and real events, Miller's drama is a searing portrait of a community engulfed by hysteria. In the rigid theocracy of Salem, rumors that women are practicing witchcraft galvanize the town's most basic fears and suspicions; and when a young girl accuses Elizabeth Proctor of being a witch, self-righteous church leaders and townspeople insist that Elizabeth be brought to trial. The ruthlessness of the prosecutors and the eagerness of neighbor to testify against neighbor brilliantly illuminate the destructive power of socially sanctioned violence. Written in 1953, The Crucible is a mirror Miller uses to reflect the anti-communist hysteria inspired by Senator Joseph McCarthy's "witch-hunts" in the United States. Within the text itself, Miller contemplates the parallels, writing: "Political opposition...is given an inhumane overlay, which then justifies the abrogation of all normally applied customs of civilized behavior. A political policy is equated with moral right, and opposition to it with diabolical malevolence."

Perched in the Catskill Mountains, the centuries-old, ivy-covered campus was home until the tragic death of her girlfriend. Now, after a year away, she's returned to finish high school. She even has her old room in Godwin House, the exclusive dormitory rumored to be haunted by the spirits of five Dalloway students—girls some say were witches. The Dalloway Five all died mysteriously, one after another, right on Godwin grounds. Witchcraft is woven into Dalloway's past. The school doesn't talk about it, but the students do. In secret rooms and shadowy corners, girls convene. And before her girlfriend died, Felicity was drawn to the dark.

It's Ellis Haley's first year at Dalloway, and she has already amassed a loyal following. A prodigy novelist at seventeen, Ellis is a so-called method writer.

Download or read book The Witches written by Stacy Schiff and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2015-10-27 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Cleopatra, the #1 national bestseller, unpacks the mystery of the Salem Witch Trials. It began in 1692, over an exceptionally raw Massachusetts winter, when a minister's daughter began to scream and convulse. It ended less than a year later, but not before 19 men and women had been hanged and an elderly man crushed to death. The panic spread quickly, involving the most educated men and prominent politicians in the colony. Neighbors accused neighbors, parents and children each other. Aside from suffrage, the Salem Witch Trials represent the only moment when women played the central role in American history. In curious ways, the trials would shape the future republic. As psychologically thrilling as it is historically seminal, THE WITCHES is Stacy Schiff's account of this fantastical story-the first great American mystery unveiled fully for the first time by one of our most acclaimed historians.

It was Thomas's curse that followed the four brothers into this quaint New England settlement deep into the Connecticut woods and almost destroyed them all.For two hundred years Vengeance was imprisoned in a place isolated from the inherent evils of mankind.For two hundred years Vengeance waited until three young men's playful whim brought them to him and unleashed a terror that was two hundred years in the making. It was now too late to hide the evil away as the Dudley's had done, Josh Anson would have to find a way to satisfy the ancient crimes of Salem, or die trying.

Alexander Spotswood Brotherton is the ambitious governor of Virginia whose claim to fame is the fast track death penalty law, which he hopes will catapult him into the White House. Retired Marine Gunny Vernon frantically searches for his adopted daughter who has been kidnapped by a man who bears a striking resemblance to the infamous 18th Century pirate Blackbeard. Fighting desperately to defend his client against the awesome power of a political machine and a fast track death penalty law, Forrest seeks to prove the young man's claim that a large, bearded sailor is responsible for the murders. Along the way, Forrest makes an incredible discovery--the culprit is actually a DNA-connected, genetic mutation of the most notorious pirate of all time. He's a demented giant, a triple murderer, and a ruthless kidnapper, who is now seeking to fulfill his revered predecessor's VOW OF VENGEANCE. In hot pursuit of the Blackbeard look-alike, Gunny Vernon traverses the gale-ridden waters of North Carolina's Outer Banks, north to Chesapeake Bay, then to Hampton Roads Harbor where all four worlds collide in a sensational gun battle.
