Description

What begins as a night of fun quickly unravels into a haunting spiral. When skeptical college student Danyel attends a Halloween costume party on campus she doesn’t expect to leave cursed. After a heated encounter with a mysterious psychic, she storms off dismissively only to wake the next morning to a terrifying new reality: the ability to see the unseen. Shadows whisper her name in the corner of rooms, spirits cling to strangers, and illusions blur the line between reality and nightmare. Danyel convinces herself it’s all in her head-hallucinations born of stress and too much alcohol but she soon realizes her mind isn’t playing tricks at all.

An unexpected connection forms when she runs into Aaron, a charming student with an uncanny knowledge of the supernatural who also shares her new sight as well as attraction and may have some insight about her new vision and her family’s hidden past. Danyel must face a terrifying truth: the curse isn’t random — it’s ancestral, rooted in her own bloodline. She soon learns that although cursed, there are other forces at play and Aaron may be the cause of the veil between worlds thinning. To stop the veil from continuing to thin before midnight on Halloween, Danyel must face her nightmares and embrace the truth about her family’s power.

My Mind’s Playing Tricks on Me is a haunting Halloween novella that blends hoodoo mysticism and paranormal suspense where reality slips, spirits whisper, and the line between sanity and the supernatural fades.
