Two historical fiction books based of the Salem Witch Trials. Lois the Witch by Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell and The Salem Belle : A Tale of 1692 by Anonymous.
Lois the Witch (1859), a novella by Elizabeth Gaskell (1810–1865), is based on the Salem witch hunts and depicts how jealousy and sexual desire can lead to hysteria. She was inspired by the story of Rebecca Nurse whose accusation, trial and execution are described in Lectures on Witchcraft, by Charles W. Upham, the Unitarian minister in Salem in the 1830s. Historical figure Cotton Mather makes an appearance in the story.
