Every word is an accusationand every whisper kills. This staggering graphic novel explores the infamous Salem witch trials and the long shadows they cast more than 300 years later. 1692 is a year of terror. In Salem, Massachusetts, Giles and Martha Corey are forced to confront their troubled past when accusations of witchcraft plunge their community into a violent moral panic. Based upon true events, and set in three centuries, More Weight is a unique inquiry into the Salem witchcraft tragedy and the misunderstood city now synonymous with it.

This 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.
