I'm writting a novel and have been told to read novels with the same themes as my own when writting
Can someone recommend me a novel that takes place during or has to do with the Salem witch trials?
Either that or a novel with a very phsycotic yet intelligent character, (think of Light Yagami)

Thanks goys

The Crucible is the obvious answer. The movie is a perfectly acceptable way to go about it.
Breslaw, Elaine G (2000), Witches of the Atlantic World: A Historical Reader & Primary Sourcebook, New York: New York University Press
and Cotton Mather's Wonders of the Invisible World (1693) are great
