520    "Killing the Witches revisits one of the most frightening 
       and inexplicable episodes in American history: the events 
       of 1692 and 1693 in Salem Village, Massachusetts. What 
       began as a mysterious affliction of two young girls who 
       suffered violent fits and exhibited strange behavior soon 
       spread to other young women. Rumors of demonic possession 
       and witchcraft consumed Salem. Soon three women were 
       arrested under suspicion of being witches--but as the 
       hysteria spread, more than 200 people were accused. Thirty
       were found guilty, twenty were executed, and others died 
       in jail or their lives were ruined. What really happened 
       in Salem? Killing the Witches tells the horrifying story 
       of a colonial town's madness, offering the historical 
       context of similar episodes of community mania during that
       time, and exploring the evidence that emerged in the Salem
       trials, in contemporary accounts, and in subsequent 
       investigations. The result is a compulsively readable book
       about good, evil, and how fear can overwhelm fact and 
       reason"--|cProvided by publisher.
