Why Didn't You Just Leave (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798988413844)

It's the question asked of any story about a haunting: why didn't you just leave? But if accounts of people who have stayed in haunted houses are any indication ... it's never that simple.

In this book, you'll find twenty-two all-new stories about the reasons people don't leave scary situations-parents who stay in haunted houses to protect their children, convicts who literally can't leave their prison, retail workers who need a paycheck even if it's from a haunted workplace, trauma survivors suffering from agoraphobia, and more.
