This was a good one! I actually liked the twist ending and thought it was very funny and perfect for a Goosebumps book. My only question is why do so many kids in these books get major concussions and it’s no big deal?? Very 90s, haha

I just wanted a fun spooky camping read. What the hell was this? I'd rather send my kids to Jellyjam.

I'm grinning from ear to ear. What a great revisit down memory lane. This is an agressive and mysterious story. You must read past all the worry. It's worth it. Trust me.

I will be copy-pasting this for every Goosebumps novel I'll be reading.
On a whim, I decided to read all of the Goosebumps books. Some of them I've read before but, for the most part, I haven't. I won't be giving any stars; this doesn't mean anything about my actual opinion for the books, it only means that I don't think I can realistically, objectively rank 62 books which are not even meant for my age. I did enjoy the ones I read as a child and I am enjoying the ones I'm reading now, so that's what matters, I believe. Yes, there are some repetitive patterns and, yes, the endings are sometimes silly and, yes, R.L. Stine may not be the best of writers. Still, I feel like I have to commend him for two things in particular: first, for bringing the horror genre early on into our lives and, second, for subtly dealing with important family issues, such as moving away, a parent loosing a job, a accident happening etc. And I think the huge success of these books speaks volumes. So, I'll just be enjoying reading them in the following couple of weeks, not reviewing or evaluating them.

As I work on collecting physical copies of all 62 Goosebumps, I will also be reading them. It's very comforting and nostalgic for me. I really believe Stine bringing the horror genre into the lives of 90s babies was very culturally significant, and I will be rating each one five stars regardless.
The camp themed ones are my favorite. For me, summer is a better time for horror than October is

These books are good. Odd and creepy enough for children who are into that kind of thing but not enough to give anyone nightmares. Great reading material also, a quick read.

Re-reading as many Goosebump books as I can as an adult. Part 1 - a lucky charity shop find!
