A Delusion of Satan by Frances Hill

This is an account of the witch-hunts of Salem, Massachusetts, during the winter of 1691. It describes how a group of girls, stifled with the rigidity of their Puritan lives, started an innocent game of fortune-telling, which rapidly descended into collective hysteria, violent fits and the accusation that many of their neighbours were witches. The result was more than 100 men, women and children languishing in Salem prison on the charge of witchcraft.
