Rufus Skumskins O'Parsley doesn't eat anything unless it is truly ghastly - fat black tadpoles squashed on toast or pans of slugs in slimy stew. But when Rufus decides to bake an extra-special cake, with more revolting ingredients than you can possibly imagine - it's the cake that wants to eat HIM.
魯福斯．史坎斯金．歐巴斯力什麼都不吃，只吃超級恐怖的東西，例如抹了又黑又肥蝌蚪泥的「營養」土司，或者整鍋都是蛞蝓的黏呼呼燉菜。有一天，他決定用超乎常人想像的噁心食材做出一個特製蛋糕，但他萬萬沒想到，這次將被吃掉的竟然就是他自己！
