👻 2024 Hallowe'en Treasure Hunt; hints for clue 12

Ghost 12

“Costumes form a skull”
But this book’s not too grim.
Search the cover in Talpa,
To find what dangles from the limb.
(Zeph)

Follow the instructions; in Talpa search, by cover search for Costumes form a skull.

Where do you find this Talpa? When I search for it it wants a paid subscription.

"Our stand-alone site is at https://www.talpa.ai ."

>4 beehappy: Aha! Thank you.

>5 varielle: You're welcome! I had trouble finding it too.

I must be doing something wrong because I can't get it - Talpa is weird, clicking on book covers gets me nothing, and I don't see anything that looks like it would fit the rhyme!

where is the Talpa Search? I can't find it.

If I found the right search (no it is not on the left after a search, I thought it used to be), it seems to hang.

>7 ForeignCircus: >8 al.vick: In addition to the link in the message linked in >4 beehappy: above, you can get to Talpa by clicking “More” in the top menu of LT and scrolling down a bit (under “LibraryThing Apps and Sites”). Follow the tips in >2 humouress: above. For me, the correct book was the very first one displayed. When you click on the cover, a pop-up box with a short description appears, and icons for various sites where you can locate the book. The ghost won’t show up on Talpa: You need to click the L logo icon to locate the book on LibraryThing.

Thanks!!!

>10 Charon07: many thanks - got my last ghost!
