Remember PF is very close to 3.5 so IMHO you do not need to get or increment PF to play with it in your game.
And just the flavor text is worth the buy. There are cool descriptions and twists.
Another example:
Although a ghoul’s basest urge, to feed on humanoid flesh,
might seem savage and bestial, the ghoul itself is an intelligent
and often imaginative creature. They temper their insatiable
hungers with other desires that are all-too-human: a need for
companionship, entertainment, education, and comfort. Yet
one would be foolish to assume that these traits instill in the
ghoul a chance at redemption or peaceful coexistence with
the living. For a ghoul, companionship means either time
spent with others of its kind or time spent conversing with
prisoners the ghoul fully intends to feed on. Entertainment
is focused on grisly “dinner parties” where meals are served
raw or rotten direct from coffin, or from tombstones serving
as platters and plates. Education manifests as an urge to study
the dark secrets, be they necromancy, demonology, torture,
or some other vile pursuit. And comfort, to a ghoul, means
the pursuit of the most grisly and hideous accouterments
imaginable—chairs made of bones, curtains made of f lesh,
and decorations made from parts of the body a particular
ghoul might find distasteful to eat.
That's another way to see ghouls, different from the MM's.
