Summary

When last we saw them, the Shluffmuffin twins were running for their lives. In this, the second installment, they run right into the arms of their long-lost father. But he's not quite as they remember him . . . Of course, who would be after a tragic Porta Potti accident? Instead, he has become something frightening, something far too horrifying to explain. No, no, we can't do it, you'll just have to buck up and read the book yourself. When things get creepy, you try to cover your eyes, but you peek through anyway, don't you? Well, then, you'll get what you deserve--a laugh attack you'll never recover from. Serves you right.

Excerpts

Hitching to Cincinnati with a Guy Named VerneAfter the gloom of Dripping Fang Forest, the blue white light from the full moon was almost blinding. Cheyenne and Wally emerged from the trees and found themselves out on the highway. The sky in the east was only just beginning to lighten up at the edges. There was no traffic, but they could see a lone car approaching in the distance."You think it's safe to hitchhike?" Wally asked."Sure," said Cheyenne. "What could possibly happen to us hitchhiking?""I don't know," said Wally, "but in the past twenty-four hours, we were adopted by two ladies who turned out to be giant ants, we were attacked by a glowing ten-foot-long slug, we nearly had our throats torn out by man-eating wolves, and a really nice professor who invited us to tea turned out to have a wife who's an enormous eight-legged spider. And you're asking what could happen to us hitchhiking?"Although Wally and Cheyenne Shluffmuffin were twins, their outlooks on life were quite different. Cheyenne saw only the good side of life, Wally only the bad. Cheyenne saw a beach and thought hot sand and thundering surf. Wally saw a beach and thought sunstroke, riptides, and choking on salt water.As the car approached, the twins stuck out their thumbs. They heard the high hum of the car's tires go down the scale as it slowed up, then heard the car yerp to a stop."Hi there!" called the driver, a man with a gray crew cut. "You kids like a lift?""Yes, if you're going toward Cincinnati," asked Wally."Sure am," said the driver. "Hop in."Wally climbed inside. Cheyenne got in after him and slammed the door. The car took off again."Name's Verne," said the driver. "What they call you?""I'm Cheyenne, he's Wally," said Cheyenne."You kids look pretty young to be out so late, all alone on a deserted highway," said Verne. "Your mommy and daddy know you're out so late?""Our mommy and daddy are dead," said Wally."Oh, sorry to hear that," said Verne. "Who's been takin' care of you?""Hortense Jolly and two giant ants," said Wally."That's okay, you don't have to tell me if you don't want to," said Verne. "I was just makin' conversation. Me, I used to work at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. I was a janitor in Hangar 18, where they did autopsies on the aliens they found in them UFO crashes.""Really?" said Cheyenne. She stifled a sneeze."Yep. I swiped me a alien brain once as a souvenir. Put 'er in a jar of alcohol, figured she might be worth somethin' someday. Keep 'er in my trunk, if you wanna have a peek." He winked at them. "Whattaya say, wanna take a peek at 'er?""No thanks," said Wally. "We wouldn't want to slow you down.""It wouldn't slow me down none," said Verne. "It wouldn't take no time at all. I could just pull over to the shoulder and pop the trunk.""Maybe some other time," said Wally. "We're in kind of a hurry to get back to Cincinnati.""Fair enough," said Verne, "fair enough. We'll do it some other time, then. You just
