Madcap, Wodehousian ghost stories, in which 2 members of the Latimer family are allowed to "return" (along with their claret-drinking pet monkey Ulysses) whenever a living family member is threatened. Sparkling dialogue, improbable plots, and lots of comedy!
Unfortunately they are only available AFAIK as pbooks published by Rue Morgue press.
I'm currently reading "Come and Go."

My eyebrows may be permanently raised at that description, Pooh. Currently looking for a good used bookstore in my area - my youngest sister-in-law sent me home from Chris's birthday party with a HUGE tote full of paperbacks....most of which I either have already read or have in ebook form. So I may have to go hunting these.
