    About this ebook

    In Salem’s dark days of 1692 and 1693, young girls pointed fingers and accused others of witchcraft, sentencing them to torture or even death. When the cloud lifted, and accusations were shown to be false, the girls faced little, if any, penalty. Were they sorry? No one knows. Only one girl, Ann Putnam, Jr., felt moved to show remorse publicly. Fourteen years after the trials, Ann wrote a letter of apology. This is her story.

    Jakob Crane

    Jakob Crane is a writer and visual artist who is native to New England. As a boy, he trotted across the stonewalled landscape into early American cemeteries and battlegrounds, where he developed a love of the stories he found there; that interest is reflected in Lies in the Dust, his first graphic novel. Crane has also written and illustrated for numerous newspapers and publications throughout New England. Timothy Decker is the author/illustrator of the critically acclaimed books, The Letter Home, For Liberty: The Story of the Boston Massacre, The Punk Ethic and Run Far, Run Fast. He works exclusively in pen and ink, often plays the blues on his cigar box guitar to the delight of cryptozoological animals and is known to enjoy the odd cup of tea from time to time. His weekly, autobiographical web comic can be found at timothydecker.com. He lives in Jersey City, New Jersey.

      Makes a nice introduction for children to the Salem Witch trials
    • 4/5
      I have been wanting to read graphic novels lately. I randomly pulled this one from my local library.

      I really enjoyed the stark, black and white drawings. The story was interesting too. This is the first time I have read an account from the point of view of one of the accusers. It briefly touched on why Anne started accusing others of witchcraft. I wish it had gone into more depth, because it is fascinating. The Salem witch trials are a sad chapter in U.S. history.

      I do feel the story would be hard to follow if you have no prior knowledge of this period in history.
