Killing the Witches

The book vividly depicts the paranoia and mob mentality, but I wonder what led the author to emphasize these aspects over others. Was it a deliberate choice to highlight the human psychology behind the hysteria?

Reading about the rapid and unjust accusations made me think about how societal fears can override rational judgment. I'm curious if others felt the same sense of vulnerability in the story.

The detailed recounting of events suggests careful research, but I wonder what guided the selection of sources to create this narrative. Did the author encounter any conflicting accounts?
