Amazon Lulu Sin Category:  Action/Thriller Publisher: Smashwords ISBN-10:  145816912X Type: Fiction Copyright: March 25, 2011 ISBN-13: 9781458169129 People die around Sin... What would you do? Could you kill a killer? Does the death of one appease the deaths of a hundred? What about that hundred against a thousand? What if you had no choice? Meet Sin. No, not that sort of sin, but Sin, crazy as a loon (you ask Sister Moon), and proud of it. Sin locks himself away in a mental home and, every so often, gets violent. That’s only so they’ll give him those nice drugs, though. The ones that help him forget. It’s a pity they don’t work. Sin, you see, has a serious problem. Well, it’s not so much his problem, as ours – yours, mine and everyone else’s. People die around him. He doesn't like it and he can't help it. But someone else knows, and he has to stop them... and himself... Flip and catch... Excerpt Sin. Yep. You heard me right. Sin. Sin-sin-sirree, there's no place for me. Or 'thee' as my dear old father, God rest his weary shade, used to say. "You're a waste of space, boy!" he'd yell when he was feeling in a good mood. "Sin-sin-sirree, there's no place for thee!" And he'd laugh. He'd laugh until he cried. I just cried. --- Dead. Say it enough times and it becomes just a word. Dead. Dead. Dead. Four letters thrown together to mean something that was so much more and so much less. Dead. An absence of life. An absence of anything. For the few days that it took my mind to wash away the spectacle of the train crash, I said that word to myself over and over. I didn’t feel responsible for the accidents, for that was surely what they were, but I didn’t feel quite… right. But, like I say, eventually it becomes simply a word. Meaningless. Emotionless. Dead. Flip. Catch. --- She raised one hand. The hand was missing its flesh. Skeletal, with withered tendons struggling to stay attached, it pointed at the remains of her face. "Is this better?" she asked. Her voice oozed from between decayed lips, no longer velvet but slime, still smooth but bubbling slightly and on the edge of coagulating in her throat. I regarded her for a long time as the maggots feasted on her flesh and wriggled into her ears and nostrils. "Nothing a bit of foundation wouldn't fix," I said. She laughed, spraying blood and teeth on the ground between us. A molar landed on my foot and I picked it up and handed it back to her. "You dropped this," I said. Whether Joy was a ghost or not, this was a dream, so there was no point in being disgusted or frightened. None of it was real.

Wow
Wow this book takes you on a rocking ride! If you are a fan of Alfred Hitchcock or Stephan King, then this is right up your alley. A psychological thriller, it will keep you guessing until the very end. It took me a bit to get into the rhythm of the English vernacular, but once you're into the story, it's not difficult to follow. It's a great read!


Highly recommended
I came across Sin today. No not that kind. The good kind. This is an incredible read which was inspiring as a writer and fulfilling as a reader. I had a difficult time putting it down to even go relieve myself. Started squirming not only from the intense characterizations and situational horror but tiny bladder problems. TMI I know. Just trying to find my humor again. This book will put you in a dark place. But in a a good way. It held me like Koontz does and part King in the horror and the first person observations. If you love good thought provoking and love good writing please take a moment for Sin.

Deserves 5 stars
eAuthor Shaun Allan deserves 5 stars for SIN - Not for the feint of heart reader!

This book was a really good reading experience. I did not know what was expected from the description. I found a story that pulled me into plot twists and perspective inflections that weave a journey.

Shaun Allan spins an excellent tale that may make you crazy reading it. If not crazy, it must be... that darn coin.

Solid 5 star read. Put this on your list to get.
