Passover
On each full moon, suddenly the firstborn sons of Zebulon, Virginia are being murdered, house by house, in bizarre ways. At the Sheltons’ home, the tormented ghost of a hate-crime victim attacks the blood-smeared windows and doors, seeking entrance. These baffling events stem from atrocities committed and endured during the Holocaust. Now, in Zebulon, neighbors fall one by one. Scarecrows become automatons whose fingers spout flame. Biblical plagues afflict the town. Finally, only the Shelton family remains. Their only hope is a dedicated county sheriff, a grandmother’s occult wisdom, and deciphering a chain of supernatural phenomena.
Passover is both supernatural thriller and domestic drama. Can this trapped, dysfunctional family’s embittered members learn to work together in time to save themselves from evil?
