Souls in jars of pickled gherkins, a beastly bat and a door into the next world in the living room – there’s nothing in Scary Harry’s cosmos that isn’t there. Sonja Kaiblinger sends Otto and his bony pal into a new adventure, which contains a few surprises.

What happens in Vol. 5:
It’s Halloween on Radish Road! But instead of joining in with the trick-or-treaters, Otto is home alone. Harold, meanwhile, is making himself scarce: his new boss does not allow visits to the Land of the Living outside of working hours. But at least Uncle Archibald, who has just returned from the Afterlife, is able to help Otto and Emily establish a connection to Otto’s parents. They have been kidnapped by a grim reaper and carried off to Limbo...
