WITCH HUNT

By: Ryan Funk

Status: Completed

Summary:

Welcome to 1692 Salem Village, in the heart of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. It is the annual Celebration of the Harvest, a subdued affair on the hells of a summer caked in drought. What begins with a story soon becomes a game of pointing fingers and scapegoating, as wrath and envy take the village by storm. The ensuing result finds several women and men alike standing trial for witchcraft. As if it didn't take much to convince the judge, jury and crowds of people, supernatural activity in the courthouse makes a believer out of everyone, in this supernatural themed historical fiction chapter from the Alieus series, set during a shameful time in the early history of the American colonies.

        Wow, that was interesting. That ending was awesome! It seemed like something stereotypical witches and warlocks would do, causing hysteria in a small that leads to the murder of many men and women. It's very legitimate. Well done, my friend, well done.

        This was a very interesting story. I'm a history geek so this was my kind of book. The descriptions and details helped me vision the scenery and what was happening in the courtroom very easily. The story had me from the very beginning and held my attention till the end. Loved the ending and good job.

        I know this won't count as critique, but when I started getting into this- it hurt me in the feels. I remembered back when I was introduced to the topic of 'Salem Witch Trials' in school. I never liked the Puritans at ALL for what they did and ugh, the screaming kids described in the story reminded me of how annoying they were in the visually movie I seen in class. So props for bring back those screams and body flops xD And another thing is that the writing makes me thing of the bible which makes it ironic they did talk that way in real life! (Don't worry that's pretty good, will you ever do a religious story? Curious. Would like to see some in your mixture)

        Your writing is very descriptive, and the dialog is very consistent with the time period. It is a very immersive story. It reminds me of role play I used to do of this era (sort of, there was more fantasy mixed in). All together, this story (so far) is very well-written.
