pickThis is a pick for me on the strength of the art which is dark & moody & sinister throughout. It is, however, very text heavy so it‘s not a fast read. Wickey has written a thoroughly researched retelling of the Salem Witch Trials, how neighbors turned on each other, how people were not given fair trials, how rumor, innuendo, & suspicion overwhelmed the truth. That story is juxtaposed with descendants of participants & the lingering trauma.
A graphic novel about the Salem Witch trials a decade in the making?!? Perfect read as we head into autumn… 🍂🍁🍂
