Beneath Bomberry Bridge

Thursday nights are Gahwaine’s turn to go foraging. Everyone waits impatiently for his return; the Mutant Skeith knows the best places to scrounge up mostly unblemished omelettes and only half- stepped-on jellies.

A Story No One Knows

How the Usul twins came to be in the Haunted Woods on the most mischief-filled night of the year rather than enjoying a balmy sunset from their beach-side bookshop half a world away was the result of an unfortunate lack of calendar awareness (it's always summer on Mystery Island!) and a deceptive-but-not-technically-false bit of advertising on the part of the Krawk they hired to sail them across the ocean.

An All Time Guide to the Best Spooky Food



Spooky season is upon us, and what better way to celebrate than filling our gut with the most outrageous candies and treats we can think of? Throughout Neotopia, a plethora of spooky foods will fill you not only with the Halloween spirit but also with loads of sugar. To make life easier, here is a list of some of the best spooky foods you can get your hands on for yourself or maybe trick-or-treating. Some of these foods might actually scare you; they're pretty creepy-looking, so pay attention when shopping. Almost Gummy Rat What better way to start than a fan favourite, the Almost Gummy Rat. This delectable, chewy creature comes in lime, grape, and strawberry flavours, so everyone can easily take a four-legged treat. Apple-Free Apple Cobbler Spooky season calls for cobblers, and nothing beats an apple-free apple cobbler. What's the filling you ask? That's the spooky surprise. Baked Intesteen Is it real intestines or is it fake? Only you can find out by taking a heaping bite and chowing down. This ghastly-looking snack might turn your friends a little green, but you can pick one up at Spooky Food. Bloody Ghost Toast It's probably not real blood. Brain Candy Mix Leave this out in a bowl and surprise everyone with the fun little treats they pull from this tasty mix. Candy Corn Stuffed Pumpkin You can't have a spooky season without candy corn and pumpkins, so why not stuff them together? This adorable pumpkin is filled with everyone's least favourite candy; it's the thought that counts, right? If you need an even more spooky look for the Cannibalistic Pumpkin or the Carnivorous Carved Pumpkin, they will turn heads.
