"There's something about that man," Mrs. Benninghoven continued. "He's creepy. He lives alone in a big house and writes books on his family's history... and on the history of witchcraft."    "Oh, how exciting!" said Elsie gleefully. "The perfect place to spend Halloween."    "If you like that sort of thing..." In these thirteen tales, you'll find the quaint, the quarrelsome, the sinister, and the spooky:
A middle-aged housekeeper who loves Halloween a bit too much...
A plumber whose fear of crawl spaces turns out to be fully justified...
A newlywed husband who wonders how to tell his wife she wears much too much make-up...
A mean old prankster who's determined to play one last practical joke...
Meet these and other such colorful characters in Ghosts and Other Unpleasantries.
