Eleven years following a cataclysmic event that ripped apart the state of South Australia, taking civilization and society to the brink of no return, the Triplow family have finally found peace. Settling down in Corona, California, has ensured that the past horrors and madness of Hastings remain relegated to another time, another place.On the morning of September 7th, 2022, that false perception is shattered when Bob Triplow is forced to face those things buried deep within himself.Having to accept what no parent would ever wish upon their child, he will take his son on a journey back to his past, and the horrors of his childhood. A place well beyond Hastings… well beyond South Australia… a place truly out of this world, where life is manipulated with brutal destructiveness.Within this dark boundless dimension, surrounded by the ghosts of all that has gone before, Bob will learn that past events always find a way of catching up. And that, somehow, these events are intimately connected to Earth’s impending loss.In a final confrontation, life’s fragility will be displayed with gruesome clarity, and Bob will struggle for his own sanity.While his son, a mere child of ten, will be compelled to make decisions upon which six billion lives depend.* * * *For those who relish the blurring between reality and existences lurking beyond, KALEIDOSCOPIC SHADES catapults into such unknowns.We will discover that the paranormal is never far from the surface of modern day life… and that, perhaps, what lies in the darkness knows more about you than you ever dared to imagine.
