The Daughters of Salem: How we sent our children to their deaths: Part 1 by Thomas Gilbert

3.0

Trigger warnings for some images of gore, killings, and some involving animals.

I love reading anything having to do with witches, especially the Salem Witch Trials. It’s terrible what happened, but the faith and beliefs of many went way overboard.

This graphic novel introduces our main character, Abigail, who explains what events changed the Salem she lived in and the domino effect that occurred afterwards. The difference in this telling of the witches of Salem is that Abigail has a secret forbidden love interest.

I really enjoyed this graphic novel! I believe the art wasn’t the greatest, however, for the particular story, it seemed to fit well. Some of the art had a great creepy factor which I absolutely love. The story overall was good and I would be curious to read more. I’d recommend this to any who enjoy graphic novels and reading about the horrors of the Salem Witch Trials.

Thank you so much to the author, publishers, and Netgalley for the oppressed to read an advance copy of The Daughters of Salem!
