Salem: Blood to Drink

Maggie Lou Rader

Everyone loves a witch hunt. Until they’re the witch.

The Salem witch trials are in full swing, and four accused women suddenly find themselves sharing a jail cell. What starts as a fight for survival quickly turns into a sharp, funny, and wildly unexpected look at fear, friendship, and who gets to tell the story. Darkly hilarious and surprisingly timely.
