Dead Man's Float by Shawn Sarles

Whatever you do, don’t swim alone. In his next YA horror, Indie bestselling
author Shawn Sarles dives into the terrifying myth behind the dead man’s
float.
Sometimes the truth hurts. Sometimes it even kills.
Seven years ago, Sam watched her friend drown. The water, and the fact that Sam
couldn’t save her, has haunted her ever since. But what she didn’t see that day
was the hand that had reached out for her friend, wrenching her beneath the
water.
Now, as Sam gets ready for varsity pre-season on the school swim team, she vows
once again not to let the fear of the water bring her down into its depths. But
when the upperclassmen take the girls to the abandoned neighborhood pool
called the Graveyard for their yearly hazing ritual, a seemingly harmless prank
will set off a catastrophic chain of events. It will unleash a spirit, a ghost that has
unfinished business both in the pool and outside of it, intent on finding its killer.
On this team, they all have a secret. They all have a motive.
The truth can set them free, if it doesn't bury them first.

Shawn Sarles is the Indie Bestselling Author of Campfire, Mary, Will I Die?, and the
forthcoming A Pocket Full of Posies. Born in western Kentucky, he went to college
at Wake Forest University. He lives in Philadelphia with a French bulldog and two
chatty parrots
