Shadow Passport: Customs of the Dead
The dead don't move on. They fill out forms.
When Jake Morrison finds his grandmother's passport in the mail-three weeks after her funeral, still warm, stamped with today's date-he knows something impossible is happening. His grandfather's broken compass confirms it, spinning wildly and pointing straight through his bedroom wall.

When Jake Morrison finds his grandmother's passport in the mail-three weeks after her funeral, still warm, stamped with today's date-he knows something impossible is happening. His grandfather's broken compass confirms it, spinning wildly and pointing straight through his bedroom wall.
On the other side waits Customs: a haunted bureaucracy where the dead stand in endless lines, argue with faceless clerks, and complain about the vending machines. And Jake's grandmother? She's not exactly resting in peace. She's running a department.
But Customs has a problem. Someone is selling illegal passage back to the living world-permanent passage, with no return ticket. And the living are starting to disappear, one by one, replaced by something wearing their smiles.
To find his grandmother and stop the forgeries, Jake and his friends must navigate a world where paperwork can kill, where the black market trades in memories, and where the scariest monsters wear business casual. The clock is ticking. The line is growing. And the dead are getting impatient.
Some borders aren't meant to be crossed. Some families keep the keys.
