 Here we are, the first Goosebumps 2000 book, and my second ever one reading, and I gotta say - pretty good! Definitely a lot more darker than the OG series with some genuinely haunting imagery that would've messed me up as a kid. Rip the Cat is such a great name and pretty cool monster overall. The real standout for me though is Alison and Ryan's friendship. Always a sucker whenever Stine gives us a wholesome and platonic m/f friendship :)
