The Haunting Returns (Goosebumps: The Season 1 Novel) by Kate Howard

2.0

So... I was not a fan of the TV show but as a goosebumps collector I had to pick this up and read it. This is an extremely faithful adaptation and while I did find it slightly less egregious in written form it still wasn't good. I hate to use this sentence but it's just not Goosebumps. It's cringy, filled with teen drama and worse still, it's boring. This book also advertises an alternate ending to the show and it's a whole pile of nothing, to the point where I have no idea why the would even bother to add it. I don't think any of the blame should fall with the author though as she was dealing with very poor source material in the first place.
