About This Book

An advertising executive is troubled when a mischievous ghostly double begins haunting his office, materializing in grotesque, piecemeal fashion and causing a series of embarrassing disturbances. The spirit explains that a spirit council has ordered him to perform a compensatory favor within a strict time limit and that he must conserve a scarce supply of ectoplasm, leading to comically constrained attempts at assistance. The tale mixes wry humor, physical slapstick, and mounting exasperation as the ghost’s well-intended interventions repeatedly complicate the living man’s already difficult situation.
