Ghost Camp

R.L. Stine

Sooo~ The last two weeks I was in a reading slump. It's holiday season here in Indonesia, and my husband and I get plenty of time at home. All of a sudden, I put down the 5+ books I was reading, and end up binge watching Marvel movies with my husband instead. I scroll aimlessly through social media instead of blazing through a few chapters at night.

I like to read thrillers or horrors when I'm in a reading slump, because the attention-grabbing beginnings pull me right into the story, leaving me no time to get lost in "you just have to get into it" intros.

Goosebumps is my childhood jam, and this particular story always sparks up my mood to get back into reading. This one still sends chills onto my spine and makes me afraid to go to toilet at night. A nice creepy read.

I have so many questions. For starters, how does a family even find out about this camp where only two kids are sent? Like... no other parent found out about this camp??

But I will give some props to using a few tropes/ tricks that weren't popular or even overused for years later when it comes to ghosts and possession. This came out in 1996 and it likely would have been one of the first instances of such things for me. Fun book and you know I love some camp goodness... 3 stars!

One of my favorite Goosebumps from my childhood. I didn’t love it as much as an adult but it was still enjoyable. I liked the overall plot and the main characters but some parts, like with the monster, predictability, and major plot hole (how did these kids end up here realistically given the twist) kept me from loving it completely.

Still a fun, nostalgic story about ghosts and camps. R.L. Stine made me want to go to camp so bad as a kid.

4 stars!
