Shawn Jaryno crafts stories exploring the darker side of human existence. Staring into the abyss of fear, morality, guilt, obsession, and the unknown forces that shape everyday life. The darkness stares back, exposing both psychological and supernatural horror, daring you to take one more. He steps further when ordinary people turn away; he confronts extraordinary darkness.For Shawn, horror is more than the monsters and haunted places. It is the fear and dread of what waits in the shadows beyond the edge of understanding, and what may already exist within ourselves. His stories explore the fragile boundaries between reality and nightmare, certainty and doubt, and redemption and damnation.When he isn't writing, he can often be found lurking in the shadows, studying human behavior, exploring unsettling ideas, and asking questions that most people would rather leave unanswered.Currently residing in the shadows of New Jersey, Shawn is at work on future novels that continue exploring the hidden corners of fear and the mysteries beyond human understanding.
