Spam, the Spooks, and the UPS Bandit

Here Comes Spam-ta-Claws: Spam's second Christmas hisses with spectres, saurans, Santa, stealing, seniors and sappy seasonal sentiment in a short story to sneak onto someone's e-reader fur Christmas or Hanukkah or President's Day for that matter. Spam's half brother Matt lives under the dumpster outside the "old people's house" where he is fed by a kind resident named Hilda. This year, Hilda is even more spirited than she usually is since she and the other residents and staff are being haunted by a collection of spirits, including what seem to be the ghosts of dinosaurs. Then there's the new resident at the far end of the corridor, a bearded and dejected fellow visited by Spam's vampire lawman friend, Maddog. Who is he, where is he from, and why is he so interested in the deer? Meanwhile, the UPS Bandit, a certain raccoon of Spam's acquaintance, continues stealing packages of stuff he doesn't even want from peoples' porches. Spam doesn't know what to do about Renfrew's coonish kleptomania. Although Renfrew is his chief assistant detective, he can't take him anywhere! Before these puzzles spoil the holiday for everyone, Spam and his friends must exorcise the spirits haunting the humans and once more make the facility a safe place for the terrified residents and for cats to go get handouts!
