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!

The Drowned Child had left tiny wet footprints across the shop floor, which was a little annoying, but not as bad as the clumps of seaweed and occasional dead fish it had also apparently dragged in with it.

Radford could hear the rushing of waves coming from the pool noodle display. Moving at a casual stroll, he made his way to the World o' Stuff's glass-fronted doors and slid a heavy cold-iron security bar across them. As an added safety measure, he flipped the sign so that the side reading "CLOSED" faced outwards, and switched off the overhead lights.

Already the glass of the high recessed windows was turning green and opaque, as though scoured by salt water and sand at the bottom of the ocean as opposed to sitting nicely in a wooden window frame for the last twenty years. The air was briny and thick, and the artificial potted plants behind the ice-cream counter had started sporting polyps.

With some difficulty, Radford unlaced his comfortable brown brogues and slipped a pair of neon-green flip-flops on over his thick arch-support socks. He put on his best salesman's smile and flip-flopped over to the shelves full of brightly coloured inflatable rings.

"Now then, young man," he said, addressing the grey and slime-slicked spectre that stood at the centre of an ever-widening puddle of stagnant water. "What can I do for you?"

The spirit turned clouded eyes towards him and smiled with a mouthful of shale and sea salt. It's voice bubbled and gurgled and when it spoke, the noise of the waves rose to crash down over the words.

Radford rubbed his hands together.

"The inflatable alligator's been a popular choice this summer," he said. "And the dolphin always sells well. Of course, you can't beat the classic inner-tube, so..."
