"Toffee Haunts A Ghost" by Charles F. Myers is a humorous novel likely written in the mid-20th century. The story revolves around Marc Pillsworth, who finds his life turned upside down after a series of bizarre comedic mishaps on a fateful morning, which includes encounters with a ghost named George and the enigmatic figure of Toffee, his subconscious creation who materializes in the real world. The narrative blends elements of fantasy and slapstick comedy, focusing on Marc's chaotic attempts to navigate a day filled with absurdity and supernatural elements while dealing with his various adversities. The opening of the novel introduces Marc as he survives a series of precarious situations, starting with a falling safe and several near-misses that suggest an ill fate, all while he is grappling with the sudden appearance of Toffee, his "dream-girl," and the comedic chaos that unfolds. As the morning progresses, Marc quickly becomes embroiled in increasingly ludicrous scenarios involving miscommunication with co-workers, accidental encounters with a ghost, and the outrageous antics of Toffee, who is both alluring and infuriating. The vivid character interactions and the surreal hijinks promise a lighthearted exploration of a man's struggle against the unpredictable forces of fate and his own subconscious.
