| Summary | "The Spirit of Toffee" by Charles F. Myers is a comedic novel written in the mid-20th century. The story follows Marc Pillsworth, a beleaguered advertising executive, whose life spirals into chaos when he is haunted by George, an unruly ghost that brings further turmoil to his already complicated existence. As Marc grapples with both supernatural disturbances and his financial troubles, the mischievous spirit George has a mission to make amends, complicating matters with his antics. The opening portion of the narrative introduces readers to Marc Pillsworth, who is confronted by both a ghostly presence and mounting personal issues, including his wife's theatrical ambitions that threaten their financial stability. As George’s haunting disrupts Marc's already precarious life, the confusion escalates with the introduction of Toffee, an enigmatic spirit from Marc's subconscious. The humor arises from exchanging quips between Marc and George, with spectral mishaps culminating in escalating chaos, setting the stage for a wild adventure filled with surreal occurrences, misunderstandings, and comedic mischief that threatens to consume Marc’s life entirely.
