Dennis Etchison writes the hell out of this very silly but endlessly charming Halloween One-off.
There is a lot of great atmosphere and it goes into some interesting territory for how the main character views the world which fits in very well thematically. Dude drinks SO MUCH and having him removed from the endlessly likable Tom Atkins makes his character literally seemed unhinged.
Adds some fun bits, cuts out some of my other fave scenes (we don't get the implication that our hero has a relationship with the coroner for example), but all in all this is well worth tracking down if you can. (listened to the Slashtrax audiobook for this one)
