Overview of Killing the Witches

O'Reilly's instant bestseller uncovers Salem's darkest chapter, where two girls' afflictions unleashed hysteria that executed 20 innocents. Part of the 19-million-copy "Killing" series, it draws chilling parallels between 1692's witch hunts and today's cancel culture - history's most haunting lesson in mass hysteria.

When Fear Wore a Noose

Picture a wealthy mother of five standing at the stake, flames rising around her as spectators watch in grim fascination. Edinburgh, 1591. Dame Euphame MacCalzean's real crime wasn't witchcraft-it was owning land that King James VI wanted. Unlike most Scottish witch executions where victims received the mercy of strangulation before burning, Effie burned alive. Her screams echoed across the Atlantic and forward through time, foreshadowing America's own descent into hysteria. Nearly a century later, another community would discover how easily fear transforms neighbors into executioners and suspicion into certainty. The Salem witch trials didn't emerge from nowhere-they grew from seeds planted the moment the first Puritans stepped onto American soil, carrying with them an intolerance that would eventually consume innocent lives.
