Description
Frances Hill is the author of four non-fiction books on the Salem Witch Trials, including the widely acclaimed A Delusion of Satan, published in hardback by Doubleday and paperback by da Capo.
Hill seeks to retell the story of the trials in order to better understand the psychological and social causes for the witch-hunt. She theorizes that much of the hysteria centered around the witch hunt was actually caused by various outside stresses, such as the repressive theology of the Puritan religion, the constant fear of Indian attacks, and the political struggle between the families of the "victims" and those accused of witchcraft.
Frances Hill's other non-fiction books on the witch trials are The Salem Witch Trials Reader, Hunting for Witches and Such Men Are Dangerous.
Frances Hill has also written three novels: Out of Bounds, A Fatal Delusion, and Deliverance from Evil.
