Turning down offer?

I have an offer to work waiting for me on job net. Some things have come up unexpectedly that make it very difficult to decide if I should take the job. So my question is this, if I reject the offer could I be blacklisted? Will it hurt my chances for working next year or maybe improve them because I passed the interview process previously?

Contact your hiring manager. Turning it down now is much less likely to blacklist you than simply not showing up.

And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

I wouldn't not show up! I really want to work there, I just want to know will it be my only chance I I don't take it now?

In 2010 I accepted my job offer and wasn't able to return last minute. I just emailed my manager and let them know the circumstances and I was not black listed. :-)
