𝗔𝗡 𝗢𝗨𝗧𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞 𝗢𝗙 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗖𝗛𝗖𝗥𝗔𝗙𝗧 is a chilling exploration of the Salem witch trials, rendered vividly in graphic novel form. Noyes skillfully reconstructs historical events, immersing readers in the terror and paranoia of the era. The realization that these were real people enduring unimaginable horrors adds a sobering layer to the narrative. While history may not be my forte, Noyes's meticulous research and compelling storytelling captivated my attention. Duffy's illustrations breathe life into the characters, evoking the palpable fear and hysteria of the time. As the events unfold, the graphic novel becomes an unsettling reminder of the dangers of unchecked hysteria and injustice. I eagerly anticipate future collaborations from this talented duo.

The Salem Witch Trials can be a rather heavy topic to digest. I think this graphic novelization of the history behind the trials makes it a little easier to take in for younger minds. The depictions of the hangings can be a little graphic but I'm also a fan of history not being sanitized. History is ugly - plain hard facts. I think this graphic novel would be a great introduction to the topic of witchcraft hysteria in the early days of America's history for younger folks.

Hello Fellow Readers,
An Outbreak of Witchcraft was such an interesting take on the Salem witch trials, but also horrifying when you remember halfway through that this isn't a fictional tale. The dialogue in some parts may be embellished but these were real people. This was a real event that happened in our history. Noyes must be an amazing researcher because they did an amazing job at recounting incidents. I will admit that history has never been my strong suit and I don't typically search it out but Noyes made me pay attention. Duffy also did a great job bringing life to each character. I could almost feel the hysteria and fear roll off the pages.
Overall, I can't wait to see what else these two have in store.
