Scream and Scream Again! by R.L. Stine
2.0
Scream and Scream Again is a collection of short horror stories aimed at middle grade and young adult readers (truth be told, I can’t resist anything that has R.L. Stine involved.) The nostalgia impact had me wanting to pick this up. I have been a lifelong Goosebumps fan and it is after all what got me so heavily invested in the horror genre. However, as I’ve mentioned in previous reviews of short story collections it is notoriously hard to review as no one story is the same, not one story has the same feel, the same atmosphere so overall this collection was okay but didn’t feel like anything special.
Raw Head and Bloody Bones was probably about the best of a mediocre bunch. Maybe I’m just no longer the target audience for this type of collection. It has been about twenty years since I indulged in the Goosebumps collection and maybe my kids would enjoy it better. It was a fun walk down nostalgia road but I definitely enjoy different genres of horror these days.
