Life's funny. One minute you're jobless, deep in debt, and on the verge of eviction; the next you're in a fight with a monster and getting a job working for a paranormal detective with the head of a jack-o'-lantern. It's an age-old story. Now the clumsy but determined Ellie (who's just discovered she has strong psychic powers) and her pumpkin-headed boss Ichabod have to team up and fight the things that go bump in the night.
The full color art is beautifully rendered in print and the storyline doesn't take itself too seriously. Overall it's a fun take on paranormal investigators and will be appreciated by those wanting to get into the Halloween spirit, but not in a Stephen King kind of way. While you can tell that it was originally released in episodes, it starts to hit its' stride before you're halfway through, leaving the reader eager for more chaos, and backstory, in the subsequent volumes.
