To satisfy his lust for blood and terror, he kills some individuals and turns others into blood-drinking zombies.

Reviews of Vampire Resurrection

"Carlotta has such a fine hand at combining true history into her supernatural stories, that you can find yourself wondering if they are actually fiction." - Ricky Dick, AKA Gravely McCabre, host of Midnight Monster Hop.

"Vampire Resurrection, reveals a gripping storyline which intertwines history and legend; creating a mysterious boundary between the living and the dead." - Brian Douglas Coyle, author of Soul Riders, The Devil's Sanctuary and Portrait of Greed.

"As in her earlier works, Salem Pact and Touching the Dead, Holton delivers another wickedly good page turner that readers can sink their teeth into. Putting a deliciously dark spin on what might have befallen the Lost Colony of Roanoke, she draws the battle lines between Jay Silver, a Native-American Indian and eerie Count Jean Phillipe Roget, a 400-year-old French vampire. The stakes are high as the town is menaced by the count's rising army of the undead and a revenge that transcends time. I loved the explosive ending! Keep writing Ms. Holton, you are a born storyteller!" - Jack Evans, WMBS-CBS, Uniontown, PA

"Riveting. I couldn't put it down. Vampire Resurrection evokes the kind of spine-chilling sense of evil I've experienced in my ghost-hunting investigations. I will never again be quite the same when I enter a cave. A gripping tale steeped in historical intrigue, ancient lore and hard-core horror. Great movie potential." - Jane Doherty, psychic, author and star of Dead Tenants on The Learning Channel.

Reviews of Touching the Dead 

"The author of the frightening Gothic novel, Salem Pact has created yet another chilling take-to-bed supernatural thriller that asks if the power of a belief could be stronger than the truth and then leaves you to ponder it. Depicting characters plucked from the innocence of childhood to the corrupt evils of tortured souls, Touching the Dead is a hypnotic and powerful must-read! These terrifying journeys to the dark side of the human mid will haunt you long after you put down the book to contemplate your own superstitions."
- Jane Doherty, author, renowned psychic and star of Dead Tenants (TLC - The Learning Channel) TV

"Simply one of the best horror books I've read. The ending will surprise and delight. The combination of psychological terror and ghostly retribution make for a rewarding read."
- Judy Cook, author

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.

Reviews of Salem Pact 

"Intermeshing the period of the Salem witch trials with the present, Salem Pact author Carlotta Holton makes the point that human nature remains a constant across the centuries, a fact that contributes to history's repeating itself. Graduate student participate in a frightening historical reenactment engineered by an academic sociopath, as group psychology, pharmacology, and the supernatural all play a role. Readers are likely to find satisfying Carlotta Holton's strategy for eventually meeting out justice so as not to further compromise the lives of victims."
- Carol Gebhardt, book club member

"A Tantalizing Witch's Brew." "Carlotta Holton's Salem Pact is a thrilling tale that features a cast of memorable characters and a fascinating plot that keeps readers at the edge of their seats wondering what is next. Her attention to detail and talent for writing high-quality fiction really draws the reader into this 'spellbinding' story. A good movie producer will surely want to adapt this fiction work for the big screen!"
- Tracey Porpora, NY.

"Carlotta Holton's writing style is mesmerizing. I could not stop reading Salem Pact. It left me asking could this really happen again? It is a spellbinding read and I can't wait for the movie."
- Bob Salter, WXRK- "K-ROCK, New York City

"A fascinating topic..."
- Rick Adams, Patriot-8-TV

"A bewitching twist on the Salem trials."
- Pat Turner, In the Towns, The Star Ledger

"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.
- Margaretta Paslarlu-Sencovici, Producer, TV-36

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.
