Salem Pact
by Carlotta G. Holton
When an egocentric college professor gets permission to re-enact the infamous witchcraft trials of 1692 for the entertainment of visitors to historic Salem Village, a dramatic history lesson becomes a modern nightmare. Innocent people are accused of serving Satan and sentenced to all-too-real executions. Driven to desperation, a brave band of rebels takes a stand against the murderous professor. Aided by a 300-year-old spirit, the rebels struggle to prevent the horrific repetition of the village's sinister past. Reminiscent of the works of Stephen King and John Saul, Salem's Pact blends elements of the Gothic romance and historical tragedy into a terrifying witch's brew.Buy This Book

Her attention to detail and talent for writing high-quality fiction really draws the reader into this 'spellbinding' story.

"A bewitching twist on the Salem trials."

"Carlotta Holton's talent shines throughout the book, encouraging the reader to slow down the pace of reading and savor each page. Salem Pact is a fascinating work marked by a distinct attention to detail that helps to bring alive the evolution of the story and adds a palpable richness to its characters. It should inspire any movie maker, for it will stimulate viewers' imaginations, both visually and emotionally. I hope to see it on the big screen.

Really unique collection of horror stories. I've never heard of many of these superstitions. I especially liked the title story, it was downright creepy. Great writing, fantastic storytelling. I've read the book twice and will undoubtedly go back and re-read some of my favorites. I would love to see some of these stories made into a tv series. Looking forward to reading her next book, Vampire Resurrection.

In additional to reading both of her exceptionally well-written and extremely interestingfbooks, I was fortunate to have the author speak at my book club. Everybody was mesmerized and it was the talk of our club for months after and two people missed it and regretted it after hearing us talk about what an inspiring and informative and very interesting speaker Carlotta Holton was. I would strongly advize book clubs or any type of clubs to contact her to speak with them. I can not wait for her next book to come out because I like the way she is able to capture my attention within the first few pages and takes me into her fascinating world.

Enjoyed immensly her book of short stories. A good read under the covers on a cold winters' night!Brrrr! Waiting for movie to be made of Salem Pact. Where is your next book???
