The Daughters of Salem: How we sent our children to their deaths: Part 1 by Thomas Gilbert
3.0
I received this via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
This was volume 1 of the story so as such doesn't feel particularly self contained at this point. Some of the chapters tell more of a stand-alone story than others and this doesn't cover any of the witch trials, those presumably follow in later volumes.
Since I only know The Crucible in detail and not the historical events on which it was based, I can't comment on how much it deviates from history but certainly it is quite different from the plot of the Arthur Miller play.
The art style does seem to suit the subject matter well and conveys the harshness of life in such a town. The content is quite gruesome in places (as the name suggests) and is certainly not for kids. I'd be interested to see where the story goes in the next volume.
