"The Perfect Pumpkin Pie"
by Denys Cazet.
"Pumpkins, pumpkins, pumpkin pie!
I must have one before i die.
It must be round and brown as toast,
or I'll haunt this house a hungry ghost"
... is the refrain from this ghoulishly demanding gourmand, tragically struck down before he could taste his beloved wife's perfect pumpkin pie. But can the new owners of the haunted cottage (Grandma and young Jack) make a pie perfect enough to satisfy this picky ghoul?
"A pumpkin pie without whipped cream?
It's enough to make a dead man scream.
This pie is bland, it's underdone
Next time please, more cinnamon!"
Aimed towards the younger end of the age-scale, it's nonetheless a bit gorey with the ghost/ghoul's rotten and falling-off flesh and removable eyeballs. Still, it's not terribly scary and a rather fun read, if a bit short on storyline.
