Sliding Beneath
the Surface by Doug Dillon
The St. Augustine
Trilogy
Book 1
By Doug Dillon
In old St. Augustine, Florida, fifteen-year-old Jeff
Golden’s recurring dream of being stabbed in the chest and bleeding all over
his bed is driving him crazy. It’s causing him to lose sleep and giving him
severe headaches. When his psychically gifted friend Carla and an ornery Native
American shaman named Lobo try to help, Jeff is inundated with terrifying
paranormal experiences.
Reaching out of Florida’s distant past, something
increasingly entangles Jeff in tentacles of danger that threaten his sanity and
eventually his life. But the harder he tries to understand, the deeper he gets.
When comprehension finally dawns though, time has almost run out. Lobo does his
best to prepare Jeff for what he must face in order to survive but it may be
too little and too late.
It’s at this point that both Jeff and Carla find themselves
swept headlong into an alternative reality from which they may never return. If
they don’t quickly and fully adapt to this situation, all hope is lost. From
Lobo they know how it might be possible to change what is happening but the
question is, can they? Repeatedly, Lobo has told both teens, “You create your
own reality whether in this world or in another.” If acted upon properly, that
advice just might save their lives and end suffering on an even wider scale.
Blurb
A new resident of America's oldest and most haunted city,
St. Augustine, Florida, fifteen-year-old Jeff Golden suddenly finds himself up
to his eyeballs in frightening paranormal experiences. At the end of his rope
in trying to figure out what is happening to him, Jeff decides to rely on his
friend Carla Rodriguez, and Lobo, an old Native American shaman, for help.
Despite this guidance, things get even worse. Jeff's spine tingling encounters increase in number and intensity at an alarming rate, scaring him even more. Eventually, he makes the startling discovery that unresolved circumstances involving a bloody event directly out of Florida's distant past threatens his sanity and possibly his life.
Finally, overwhelmed by forces he cannot understand or control, Jeff's world shifts from frightening to downright terrifying. In desperation, and on Lobo's advice, he leaps headlong into the unknown in order to save himself. What Jeff discovers though is that he has entered a level of reality he is completely unprepared to handle while unwittingly dragging Carla with him.
Like all the books in THE ST. AUGUSTINE TRILOGY, the premise for Sliding Beneath the Surface is simply this: You create your own reality.
