Forgive Me, Father, I Am Sin

Forgive Me, Father, I Am Sin proves that some fates are worse than death.

Emma Platt, PhD in Paranormal Psychology, has spent her entire career attempting to prove the existence of vampires. A mockery of the medical community, she has never found even the slightest hint of credible evidence until the mysterious circumstances surrounding a student’s suicide lead her to untold horrors.

With the help of LA Detective Michael Collins, a three-time rejected FBI applicant, Emma steps into a world she had begun to believe existed only in her imagination: A world where a woman not of this realm is trapped by the burning light. A world where a house on Mayberry Street protects at any cost the two small children stuck in endless time within its walls. A world that finally holds the answers to what is real and what is myth—what ascends a soul to heaven or drags it to hell.
