Eye Spy #3.5
Ghost in the Graveyard
When DB had told Madam Yanya that he was bored with all the domestic cases he was pulling lately and he needed a change, creeping through the cemetery at midnight on Halloween, looking for a ghost who supposedly became corporeal and terrorized the, well, undead, wasn't exactly what he'd had in mind. That's exactly where DB and Jesse find themselves on Halloween, though, with Madam Yanya in tow. Can they survive the ghost in the graveyard?

"Born in the wilds of Canada, Drew grew up with an axe in one hand and a book in the other. Drew's love of writing is outshone only by his love of men. Lucky for him, he can combine the two.
From his father, Drew learned how to wield that axe, fix a carburetor and bake a mean can of beans using fire, gas or electricity. From his mother, he learned how to rotate the tires, turn apples into just about anything from cider to pie to a meatless lasagna, and how to swim. At twelve Drew ran away to join the circus, only to run away from it when he realized just how badly elephant poop stinks.
When Drew ran out of books to read he started writing his own and never looked back. His home is filled with books, unfinished manuscripts and his grandmother's knick knacks. His best friend is a dog named Barney and his pet fish keep him entertained for hours.
Drew writes about love because he still believes in it. Even though he's never found that special man himself, he's never given up hope. Well, never on a permanent basis, anyway."

It's a short story, with characters from Eye Spy: DB, Jesse, and Yanya. Since it's short, well, you can't really expect a lot happening. But it's still fun to watch DB and Jesse's adventure in the graveyard. A nice vignette to the arc.

I picked up this very short story in the Torquere Press Halloween Sip series because I had read and loved the Eye Spy stories. If you have not read those, don't bother with this one. The character and even the light plot won't make any sense without the backstory.
DB and Jesse and Madam Yanya need to find out what's going on with a ghost who is upsetting the denizens of the local graveyard. Since this ghost is manifesting himself solidly, Jesse and DB are particularly interested in his techniques, as solid manifestation would add a lot to their ghost/human relationship.
The characters are fun, even if the plot is kind of silly, and I always enjoy revisiting characters from longer books. Still, even for a short story, Ghost in the Graveyard is lacking in substance (sort of like Jesse, actually!). Its only redeeming virtue is the excellent writing style and clever colorful characterizations of writer Drew Zachary, whose fans will want this one for their collection.

A cute, silly little short in the series.
