Meltzer uses variety of sources to tell the stories of these specific hunts, but also uses modern research to give the reader theories about why witch hunts happen, as well as the possible biological cause of the Salem Witch Trials.
While I found this to be a good book overall, I felt that Meltzer could have spent more time on the great witch hunts in Europe during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, as these events were the largest by far, especially in comparison to the relatively small hunt in Salem with which most Americans are most familiar.
