“Carlotta Holton knows how to write and keep her readers on the edge of their seat with expansive historical knowledge combined with chilling style. In Mind Play the incredible tales take the reader on a blood-curdling journey offering many spine-chilling moments ! Accounts like Lasting Impressions for example, Connects the horrific events of the Salem Witch trials on a present day relative. I recommend reading more by this amazing author, but only with a light on !”
– Richard Moschella, founder of the New Jersey Paranormal Project, paranormal investigator, medium and author at Beyond the Fray Publishing.
“Mind Play, the follow up to Holton’s award -winning Grave Matters and Touching the Dead is a stylish panache of short stories based on superstitions from around the globe. Fiendishly clever with a macabre wit, these tales of old still tenaciously cling to our present beliefs which we feel impelled to continue – just in case.”
– Gregory Smith, author of Mischievous in Mendham and Everywhere Else and More Mischievous in Mendham.
“Mind Play is a darkly engrossing, psychological collection of short stories from unheard of superstitions that will delight the most discriminating fan. It provides fascinating and frightening new insights into the innermost nature of the human mind. Keep the lights on and covers up under your chin - it’s that spooky.”
– John Evans, former host of The Jack Evans Show, WMBS-CBS, Uniontown, PA
“Mind Play is a collection of imaginative short stories that provides the reader with an absorbing and compelling read with clever and creative endings.” Matthew Hladik, author of Escape from Mexico.
– Stories like “The Original Pothead,” in Holton’s new Mind Play, sent a shiver of Hitchcock irony which I enjoyed. ” Phil Garber, Blogger and former Editor of The Observer Tribune.
