Reseña del editor:

This searing graphic novel goes inside the head of Ann Putnam, the only girl to apologize for sending 26 people to their death in the Salem Witch Trials of 1692. In Salem’s dark days of 1692 and 1693, young girls pointed fingers and accused others of witchcraft, sentencing them to torture or even death. When the cloud lifted, and accusations were shown to be false, the girls faced little, if any, penalty. Were they sorry? No one knows. Only one girl, Ann Putnam, Jr., felt moved to show remorse publicly. Fourteen years after the trials, Ann wrote a letter of apology. This is her story.

Biografía del autor:

Jakob Crane is a writer and visual artist who is native to New England. He has written and illustrated for numerous newspapers and publications throughout New England. As a boy, he trotted across the stone-walled landscape into early American cemeteries and battlegrounds, and developed a love of the stories he found there; that interest is reflected in Lies in the Dust, his first graphic novel. Timothy Decker is the author/illustrator of the critically acclaimed books The Letter Home, For Liberty: The Story of the Boston Massacre, The Punk Ethic, and Run Far, Run Fast. He works exclusively in pen and ink, often plays the blues on his cigar box guitar to the delight of cryptozoological animals, and is known to enjoy the odd cup of tea from time to time. His weekly, autobiographical web comic can be found at timothydecker.com. He lives in Jersey City, New Jersey.
