Memories Of MK-ULTRA

A novel by Bill Yarborough

Inspired by the Author’s Actual Experiences

The mystery of what they endured as children took a lifetime to unravel.

Tommy, Beth, and Curtis Matthews are young children forced to take part in life-altering experiments in the late 1950s. They are placed in MK-ULTRA, a covert CIA mind-control program that is designed to create super soldiers or spies. The experience dramatically impacts their lives, but they don’t remember any of it—at least not right away.

As Beth, Tommy, and Curtis Matthews come of age through the turbulent 60s and into the 80s, invisible strings pull them toward their preordained destinies.

Dr. Rudolph Holtzmann, the Nazi-trained psychiatrist in charge of their CIA program, harbors a secret agenda to turn Tommy into a future world leader, but Holtzmann’s work is compromised by dangerous forces surrounding him and by one of his experimental subjects, a Mexican boy with shamanic gifts.

When the MK-ULTRA program is aborted, the siblings are left deeply damaged without access to the memories that can free them. It takes Curtis’s psychotic breakdown and Beth’s startling vision to open up the pathways to their buried past. These developments lead to the detective work of Lynn Snyder, a diligent therapist—but will it be enough to unravel the hidden tapestry of deception?

The first book of a trilogy, Memories of MK-ULTRA, opens a window into the multiple dimensions of the human mind and soul and forces us to question our limitations in understanding reality itself.

About Bill

Bill Yarborough has enjoyed writing for many years. Manhattan Book Group just published his debut novel, Memories of MK-ULTRA, in December 2024. The story is inspired by repressed memories from his young childhood where he, his brother, and his sister recall undergoing experiments in the CIA’s MK-ULTRA mind control program.

Bill is also working on a sequel to his first novel, and his short story “Night Mother” was published by Prolific Press in an anthology of short stories, Jitter Issue # 8.

Soon after his repressed memories surfaced, Bill embarked on a healing journey. He has used many approaches, such as psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) also known as tapping. Bill has co-authored emotional health articles in The Diablo Gazette Magazine, and he and his wife, Inge, are working on a book entitled EFT on Steroids – The Extraordinary Benefit of Communal Tapping. They are certified hypnotherapists, EFT Practitioners, and Reiki Masters and co-facilitate communal tapping groups and they will soon conduct individual EFT coaching sessions.
