From the haunting echoes at Kingsley Plantation to the spectral residents of Bosque Bello and St. Peter’s Episcopal Cemeteries, this book uncovers the eerie side of Amelia’s past. Along the way, you’ll explore historic sites, uncover long-forgotten tales, and even witness the chilling moment when the author himself was attacked by an otherworldly entity. Told with humor and a deep love of local history, this isn’t just a ghost story book—it’s a walking tour of Amelia Island’s unique heritage, sprinkled with the unexplained. Whether you’re a history buff, a paranormal enthusiast, or simply curious about the secrets hidden beneath the Isle of Eight Flags, this book gives you a reason to look at Amelia Island in a whole new light. 

What if history changed... and no one noticed?

When Ezra Whetstone stumbles into a world hidden beneath the surface of time, he quickly learns one thing: the past isn’t safe. Something is moving through history—quietly, deliberately—leaving behind a trail of impossible events.

And Ezra may be the only one who can stop it. If he’s already too late... everything he cares about could disappear.

The highly anticipated 8th installment in the Southern Beach Mysteries series is here! Kay Shostak will be signing books downstairs inside The Book Loft.

About the book: Memorial Day weekend at the beach with friends sounds like a great start to Jewel’s summer. Especially now that the friends have a whole new venture to share. Sandy Bottoms Hotel is everything summers on the beach are made of: a pool, beach access, comfortable lounge chairs, and seafood. And if you’re having a wedding at the beach, a seafood buffet is a must! Sophia Island is known for it’s shrimp but plentiful oysters are popular too. Well, that is until... Where did the poison come from? The bride’s family? The groom’s family? Someone wanting to ruin the dreams of hotel ownership for the friends? Questions are far more plentiful than answers as the beach still beckons and the seafood is well, maybe not as appetizing as before. Or are the oysters even to blame?
