Grilled Cheese and Goblins: Adventures of a Supernatural Food Inspector

Grilled Cheese and Goblins: Adventures of a Supernatural Food Inspector (2018) Nicole Kimberling

Lulu’s Flapjack Shack inhabited a space that had certainly been continuously used as a hospitality venue since linoleum had been invented.

“Mass media doesn’t cover actual vampire deaths,” Keith remarked before he realized how callous his statement sounded.

“Have you seen a vampire movie?” DuPree demanded. “They’re horribly violent. Full of wooden stakes and decapitations.” DuPree choked on his last words. A sob escaped him.

“You know, the story where the mother secretly cuts off parts of her body to feed to her starving husband and children?”

“I’ve never heard of that—ever. I’m completely sure I would remember if I had ever heard that story,” Keith said. “It must be a goblin thing. Is it set on a craggy, snowy mountaintop under a blood-red sky?”

“It is, but . . . are you sure you don’t know that story? There’s a children’s picture book and everything,” Gunther said.

Keith just shook his head, partially to answer Gunther’s question and partially at the idea that he would have ever come across such a book. Though now that he thought of it, it did sort of resemble the plot of The Giving Tree.
