To whom it may concern

Eerie has it’s fair share of great places to eat. There’s the Eerie Baitshop and Sushi Bar, the Eerie Bus Terminal and Supper Club, Everything Corn, Grandma’s Kitchen, the Dragon of the Black Pool Restaurant and, of course, the ice-cream counter at the World o’ Stuff.

If you’re more of a homebody, maybe you prefer twenty-year-old bologna sandwiches or buckwheat pancakes made from a ForeverWare recipe. Perhaps a celebrity couple called off their wedding a few days before your birthday and you bought their cake on sale, or you just like adding the prefix “Swedish” to everything you cook, Marilyn Teller-style.

Maybe you really enjoy toast made in a haunted toaster, or maybe you hate it whether or not it comes with bank-robbing ghosts. You could be a member of a corn-worshipping cult whose banquets consist of Cornade (or Cornade Lite), huge bowls of fresh-made popcorn and, of course, hot buttered corn on the cob.

Is your favourite snack a jumbo-sized bag of chocolate milk balls (“the balls that go moo!”) or just a carton of the Eerie Dairy’s finest scavenged from the site of another fatal milk-truck accident? Do you feast on a giant plate of ribs the night before a human sacrifice or serve up a portion of space noodles and moon sauce while you search for UFOs?

Whatever your preferences, it’s the tenth of the month, and that means it’s time for our Foods of Eerie Fest. Are you enjoying a refreshing Black Cow after a long day investigating haunted structures, or baking cupcakes decorated with ravens and eyeballs? Share your recipes, post your pics, get out those Eerie-themed travel mugs and head off for a picnic in some ill-advised supernatural hotspot. Eat something spookily delicious and tell us all about it!

Marshall Teller walked the narrow aisles of Noel's Knick-Knack-Bric-a-Brac Emporium, towering display cases bursting with merchandise looming over him, the floor space cluttered still further with those things too heavy or too oddly shaped to fit on the shelves.

He stopped to consider a winding pathway lined either side with old-fashioned paintings in heavy gilt frames, men in stiff collars and tight breeches, women in flowing diaphanous gowns, all of them holding familiar-looking rubber kitchenware in bright anachronistic colours.

"Huh," he said. "I guess now we know where the ForeverWare ladies get their artwork from."

"It's very cool," said Simon.

"It was worth a try," Marshall consoled his most trusted associate, as they wrapped the irreparably tainted kitchen table in biohazard tape and sat down to wait for the disposal team.

"I just kept thinking about that picnic your dad took us to," said Simon. "Watching it wander through all the trifles and jellies and those weird things in aspic that the Foreverware ladies made. Like it was looking for something. Looking for more of it's own kind."

"I was really hoping Syndi would take a bite of it," Marshall said, wistfully. "It would never work, though. She hates trifle."

The coffee had long since gone cold, the off-brand Thermos unable finally to compete with Indiana's winter chill. Marshall drank it anyway, wondering if perhaps he should chance the marked-down ForeverWare ForeverWarm Insulated Flask he'd seen at the World o' Stuff after all.

He thought about it, then decided he'd rather deal with cold coffee. Besides, even when on sale the average ForeverWare piece cost as much as a car payment.

Outside, the flock of ducks who were not really ducks but instead the duck-shaped fingertips of something huge lurking under the water bobbed about, pecking at scraps of bread.

Aliens had landed in Eerie, and already the Mayor was making it weird.

"Now, if I could just ask you to strike a pose like this," he said, demonstrating a peace sign so outdated it made Marshall want to crawl into a giant-sized Foreverware bed and never come out.

The aliens were a classic sort of design, little green men with big heads and bulbous eyes that made them look as though they were constantly goggling in amazement. Or maybe that was just their reaction to Chisel...

"Wonderful," he said, as the camera bulbs flashed. "That's a t-shirt for sure."
