Sinner's Pass

Welcome to Sinner’s Pass…

A small town, barely a speck on the map, but those who are condemned there rarely return. 

When a single father sends his only son to stay the summer with his parents in his childhood hometown, he is immediately worried by a cryptic letter from his son. He must now go to the godforsaken town to seek out his son. There, he will be forced to face not only his family’s history and demonic creatures lurking in the dark, but his own internal demons. Without honesty, there can be no redemption. Without redemption, there is no leaving the evil within Sinner’s Pass.

Who Is Shaun S. Fitzgerald?

Shaun S. Fitzgerald grew up in Carson City, Nevada, and served in the Army before settling in Tallahassee, Florida. He writes horror stories, thrillers, and science-fiction, grounding his works in reality with actual experiences from his travels, and stories he accumulated along the way. When he is not writing, he is researching, building terrifying costumes, at the range on some humid Florida range, or spending time with his wife and loyal Doberman.

What we wish, we readily believe, and what we ourselves think, we imagine others think also.
