The quaint Florida town of St. Augustine is a magnet for tourists. But one site is off-limits even for the locals.
Built on the site of an ancient Indian village, Tolomato Cemetery has been closed for years. But now a slaughtered Wiccan priestess has been discovered on the grounds. Human remains have been found in a nearby Dumpster. And a cryptic message is haunting a woman's sleepless nights--a warning that the doors between two worlds have been opened.
Whatever's buried in Tolomato Cemetery is more than legend.
It's alive.
A tour guide and a spirit she can hear, but not see, set out to fight an ancient shape-shifting being called a Shiru that a witch inadvertently let into our world when attempting to teach her students how to connect with their spirit guides.
With a door open between the living and the dead, the Shiru can live it up (ha ha) while munching on humans and looking to breed. (yuck!)
This was a fun and freaky read. I loved the Native American folklore, and there are some marvelously gruesome scenes. Some spots were a bit too gross even for me. I enjoyed the humorous back and forth between Ssabra, the tour guide and the spirit who communicates with her. It's pure entertainment with a classic 80's horror feel.
