Mind Play: Stories of Superstition through Time and Around the World By Carlotta G. Holton What connects a Sicilian lover’s revenge, a Romani curse, and an insect burrowed too deep? Superstition. Carlotta G. Holton weaves together riveting tales inspired by the shadowy corners of cultural lore in Mind Play. Drawing on her experience as a journalist and scholar of human behavior, Holton crafts a globe-spanning collection that explores how ancient fears still govern modern lives. This isn’t just storytelling—it’s psychological excavation. Through richly detailed settings and unforgettable characters, Holton invites readers to examine what we believe… and why we can’t let go. Dive into a world where myths breathe, omens linger, and the line between belief and madness blurs.
