A Mystery? It Must Be Witchcraft (Book Review)
Author: Taryn Plumb Source: Boston Globe (MA)
Title: A MYSTERY? IT MUST BE WITCHCRAFT
All of a sudden, late on a moonlit June night, the assault began.
Flying rocks - hundreds of them. Some the size of apples; some weighing as much as 8 pounds; others blazing hot, as if retrieved from a fire.
During the four-hour onslaught, launched by invisible attackers, stones pummeled the tavern walls, coming in like a horizontal rain. They plummeted down the chimney. They seemed to clatter out of nowhere on the ceiling. They shattered windows.

Sturgeon's law says 98 percent of anything is crap. And let's face it, we as Pagans can name easily a dozen books that deride our religion. However I don't think this book is that biased a book. The " witchcraft is a crime" quote is unfortunate and seems to actually have been misunderstood. It might have been a reference to the historical context rather than current religious intolerance.
In reading the book review it sounds as if he was examining a specific case and trying to conclude what actually happened. And yes he is right in that there is an assumption that "witch" in historical America means only Salem.

*"I did something no one in Salem has done before: I wrote a book about witchcraft that isn't about Salem," 49-year-old Baker said, sitting on a patio behind his 200-year-old white colonial in York, Maine. "Witchcraft is a timeless crime."*
