Alice Doane’s Appeal

Description

Nathaniel Hawthorne first published this fictional tale-within-a-tale anonymously, in 1835. Set in Salem, Massachusetts, the short story depicts a narrator who reads a story he’s written about incest, murder, and ghosts to two young ladies as they visit Gallows Hill. When his companions are not as frightened as he’d hoped, the narrator then tells them the true story of 1692, and learns truth is more horrifying than fiction.

This edition was handmade in Salem, MA. A Salem Witch Museum exclusive. (5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ booklet, 2020)
