A shot in the dark... Anyone know this book? (F****N SOLVED!)
« on: September 20, 2012, 02:54:39 AM »
I've been on a nostalgia trip lately, and I'm looking for a book that I used to love in my younger days. I think it came out when Goosebumps was starting to reach the peak of its popularity, spawning hundreds of knockoffs. One of those knockoffs was this book.

I remember one of the protagonists lived with his guardian (dad? uncle?) in a house that had a mortuary in the basement, I think. One day, they receive a body that eventually comes to life and starts wreaking havoc. I think it eventually leaves their house and they have to chase it through town.

The ONLY piece of dialogue I remember is one of the protagonists answering the phone "[So-and-so]'s Mortuary! You stab 'em, we slab 'em!"

The cover art of the book is the corpse's feet sticking out of the body fridge with a clearly visible toe tag.

That is literally ALL I remember from the book, and even those details are quite fuzzy, if even correct.

That's a negative. The cover was an actual drawing. Er... painting, I guess.
