A Canonic Fanfic was released on the forum itself in October 31th, specially because of Halloween, and it covers the stories of the recently-dead-turned-ghost Luke Truesdale, as he is welcomed to the World of Monsters by Jack Jerripher, and is invited to the school, where he befriends and interacts with various other classmates, like the snarky Witch, Blair Liddel , the vegetarian Kelpie, Gary Crawford, the competitive Werewolf, Brenda Thompson, and the Keet Wendigo, Kain Winchester, as they encounter various hardships through their school life, and their clashes with the Monster's sworn enemies, the renegade Hunters, along with other foes.
