In this tongue-in-cheek novella, bad things happen every time Doreen Sizemore leaves her South Shore, Kentucky home. She can't seem to go anywhere without stumbling over yet another dead body. So Doreen comes up with a solution. She won't go anywhere. She'll simply stay in her tiny home town where everything is nice and safe. But is it? The more she gets involved with the family living in the Victorian mansion down the street, the more suspicious she becomes that there is something very strange going on there.
