PETER AND THE VAMPIRES is a horror/comedy web novel (and a free podcast!)about a normal, 10-year-old kid who moves into a sinister town filled with supernatural horribleness. The series is composed of different "monster of the week" stories - kind of like THE X-FILES crossed with THE SIMPSONS (if Mr. Burns were a ghoul and something terrifying lived in the town dump). "Peter And The Dead Men" is the first story in the collection. A new page is posted every day.

Quite the imagination Peter, that or to many movies with Dill to give him that dream. Some time in the future Peter will not be able to say anything, as just about everything will remind Dill of a monster.
And fried chicken for a last meal, yeah it could have been worse. Could have been squash with liver, I think Peter would have went mad at that point.
I know a joke about rubbery food (wouldn't I just?):
A man is eating in a Chinese restaurant. After a while he calls the waiter over and says, "Waiter, this food is rubbery!" The waiter smiles and says, "Oh, grad you rike it, sir!"
To be honest, I'm surprised Peter dares to go to sleep at all, given what he's been through. By rights he should be getting less pleasant nights than a Lovecraft protagonist.
Still, if the psychic link holds, he now has some valuable information: Dark Peter plans to lure him back to the American Revolution, dress himself, Normal Peter, Gwen, and Dill in period clothes, deprive Peter of weapons, and then shoot him! Slowly! Truly, knowing thy enemy is the first step towards victory.
Knerman: The Knerman Thrust was a special fencing move invented in Renaissance England by a now-unregarded master. It was supposed to be unblockable; but many judges questioned the legality of grabbing your opponent's blade with your off hand, an essential part of the maneuver. Many also frowned upon Knerman's use of hurling abuse at the opponent throughout the fight, denying his claims that it was psychological warfare.
Oh Rubberduck that pun was "lovely."
If I remember correctly, the dream sequence about the circus took place in the past, as well. Perhaps Peter's curse is to relive various monsters that did his ancestors in. Maybe not all of the episodes were linked like that, but The Dead Men and The Mannequin episodes do. If you change "family" for "ancestors," you can also account for The Trick or Treaters, Frankenstein, and possibly The Changeling. I don't know the connections to the others, though.
Dryll: The Jabberwock, father? I'll dryll a drabe through that bloate!

Or salmon patties. I used to HATE salmon patties as a kid.

He's facing a truly revolutionary villain...
Yes, it was bad.
Um the Muse -
I like your theory about "various monsters that did his ancestors in"! Hmmmm...
