This book reads like a historical documentary and includes the development of the Quaker religion and yellow journalism in this country. I learned that early Christians dappled in astrology and the occult, which is why the mythology of monsters and witches prevailed. The almanacs and newspapers perpetuated these stories, probably to gain readership. The book is dry reading, and if you are hoping for a thriller, it's not this book.
