Please Don't Leave Me

With these twelve stories, Jaret Ferratusco presents unsettling vignettes of people existing at the very fringes of self, society, and reality. Through investigations of the psychology of seemingly ordinary individuals -from the haunted confines of childhood to the void of isolation in adult life- these stories offer harrowing glimpses of a hidden world around us -a world that for some becomes inescapably and horribly real. In the tradition of the writings of H.P. Lovecraft, PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME presents the reader with narratives that pit the conceits of the everyday and tactile world against an encroaching and undefined menace of horror and the macabre in a struggle for sanity, identity, and survival.
