A new side-splitting Meg Langslow mystery, following THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE EMUS. It's another holiday and Mayor Randall Shiffley has turned Caerphilly, Virginia into Spooky City, USA. The residents are covering every window with cobwebs and roaming the streets in costume to entertain the tourists, and Meg's grandfather is opening a new "Creatures of the Night" exhibit in the zoo. When a suspicious fire burns down the Haunted House, Meg Langslow reluctantly agrees to lend her home as the replacement. But all too soon a real body mars the town's creepy fun, and it's up to Meg to save Halloween.
