    About this ebook

    He thought this time, things would be different… and they were.

    Two teen boys and a girl head to the seashore. For the shy, awkward redhead, this is his chance to rekindle his love. But things quickly turn dark when she spurns him for the handsome blond, pushing an already fragile psyche over the edge.

    Unbeknownst to them, they are the first to visit the beach since a tragic roller coaster accident ten years ago. Chaos ensues as they enter a macabre house of mirrors where past lives resurface to assault them full force. 

    If you’re a fan of unconventional horror by the likes of Robert Coover and Brian Evenson, you’ll love Tilt-a-Whirl.

    Kate Findley

    Kate Findley's works are a blend of horror, sci-fi, slipstream, and magical realism, with humor thrown in. She is particularly drawn to themes of mind control and magic portals. Her works are often non-linear and feature multiple narrators. Although her writing does not appeal exclusively to young adult readers, her stories frequently feature teen and tween protagonists as this phase conjures up potent memories. Plus from her years as a teacher, she's gotten to know this age group quite well! Born and raised in a tiny town on the Texas coast, Kate always wanted to live in a big city and naturally moved to Los Angeles at the first opportunity. Her hobbies include tennis, hiking, and kickboxing. In her other life she works as a freelance copywriter, specializing in the personal development market.
