“Philip the Specter and the Tentacle Monster” is a short story that follows Philip, a beer-drinking ghost who has comfortably haunted an abandoned house for years, until a well-meaning couple moves in with a cursed mirror that unleashes something far worse than any specter. What begins as Philip’s irritation at losing his peaceful afterlife becomes a desperate fight to save the humans he’s grown unexpectedly attached to—with the help of his only weapon: room-temperature beer. The story balances humor with genuine supernatural scares, exploring themes of found family and unlikely heroism while maintaining a light, comedic tone throughout.
