Legend of the Lost Legend (1996)
Black cats. Huge heads rising over the trees. Tails curling up like smoke from chimneys.Two giant black cats, their paws thundering over the forest, shaking the ground and the trees. Their yellow eyes locked on Marissa and me.This is a real rollercoaster ride!For one thing, the book starts off wi...
Return of the Mummy (1994)
"Return of the Mummy" is the sequel to "Curse of the Mummy's Tomb", a Goosebumps book I thought was kind of up and down. And interestingly, it was one of the few that didn't really end in a cliffhanger. So the fact that there is even a sequel is kind of surprising. Luckily, Return of the Mummy is...
Night of the Living Dummy II (2004)
The heavy fist hit me square in the forehead.My face felt as if it had exploded. Pain shot down my body.Everything went bright red.And, holding both sides of my head, I crumpled to the floor.This book contains some of the best writing I've seen from Goosebumps. Stine actually takes the time to s...

The Beast from the East (2005)
The book I am reviewing name is Goosebumps the Beast from the East by RL Stines. It is science fiction book. My thinking is that the books theme is that you should do anything to survive but in the process of survival don't forget relationship.The book starts with a family that is on a picnic in ...
You Can't Scare Me! (1994)
This story was published with another two Goosebumps stories - here's my full review of whole - Click, clickСледпрочитно:"Не можеш ме уплаши" е слаба история. Може да съм гледала епизода, а може и да не съм - но във всеки случай той не е оставил никакъв отпечатък върху мен. 80% от историята се съ...
The Barking Ghost (1995)
And to my horror, I realized that this time the barking wasn't outside my window.This time is was coming from inside my house!Sigh. This is one of the stupidest Goosebumps books I have ever read. Cooper Holmes and his jerk older brother Mickey have moved to a new house in the Maine woods.And th...

The two twelve...
Revenge of the Lawn Gnomes (2004)
Okay, based on this book and the previous The Horror at Camp Jellyjam, I have to conclude that Stine has lost his mind.Joe is 12 - a goofball, prankster, and general brat. His sister, Mindy, age 14, super-organized. Also rather a brat. Stine has a really hard time creating likable children, I'...
Monster Blood III (2007)
Andy stood beside Kermit. Evan saw the blue container of Monster Blood in her hand. Just seeing the can made Evan shiver.So many bad memories. So many nightmares.The green gunk inside the can was so dangerous.Ugh, this book was terrible. What did I expect? Monster Blood is one of Stine's weakest ...
A Shocker on Shock Street (2003)
I ignored all the sounds. I didn't want to think about whether they were being made by real monsters or fakes. I didn't want to think about the frightening creatures we had run into - or the close calls Marty and I had had.I didn't want to think.Excellent. We're back on track. This is a great G...
Calling All Creeps! (2007)
I think this is the most disturbing Goosebumps book I've ever read. Ricky is really bullied in school. People call him "Sicky Ricky" and "Ricky Rodent" and they regularly beat him up, taunt him, get him in trouble, etc. He has no friends, he has no allies. His life is hell. That all changes on...
The Curse of the Mummy's Tomb (2003)
This is the fifth book in the Goosebumps series and definitely a good one. It is about this kid Gabe, he is visiting Egypt with his parents.

Attack of the Mutant (2004)
WOW. This book was so amazing!!!! It is my new favorite Goosebumps book!I love, love, LOVE books about comics. Not comic books. But books about comics and comic nerds. For instance, the book "Soon I Will Be Invincible" by Austin Grossman, or the movies "Megamind," and "Sky High." So this boo...
Bad Hare Day (2004)
My love of reading started when i was young, and it gives me immense pleasure to provide books to Spread the Word Nevada, an organization that passes them on to children in the community. They are a terrific organization supporting an important cause. If your local I encourage you to check them...

The Girl Who Cried Monster (2005)
The Book I am reviewing name is GOOSEBUMPS THE GIRL WHO CRIED MONSTER by RL Stines. It is a science fiction book. My thinking is the books theme is that you shouldn’t scare your little brother with lame monster stories because after a while they would start to not believe you.The book starts with...
Egg Monsters from Mars (2003)
I glared angrily at Dr. Gray. "You have to let me go," I insisted in a trembling whisper.His expression softened. "Please don't stare at me like that," he said. "I'm not a bad guy. I don't want to frighten you. And I don't want to keep you in this lab against your will. But what choice do I have?...
How I Got My Shrunken Head (2003)
Wow, this book was so COOL!!!!I stared at a head.A human head, wrinkled and leathery. About the size of a tennis ball.The pale, dry lips were pulled back in a sneer. The neck was stitched closed with heavy black string. The eyes - solid black eyes - stared up at me.A shrunken head. A real shrunke...

Welcome to Dead House (2003)
Books From My Youth: GoosebumpsHorror is my favourite genre in everything, books, movies and television. I don’t know what it is but there is something about being scared that just appeals to me. My mom is also a horror fan, we even bonded over the genre when I came to live with her. The first mo...
The Ghost Next Door (2003)
Well, THAT was interesting. No, I'm serious, I enjoyed it.Hannah is a 12-year-old girl living with her family in a small town. It's summer and she's bored. Her two younger twin brothers, age 6, are wild and crazy and take up all her parents' time and attention. She must find ways to amuse her...

The Scarecrow Walks at Midnight (2003)
This book was actually scary!Jodie and her brother Mark spend every summer on their grandparents' farm. But this summer, things are different. Instead of just one scarecrow in the fields, there are over a dozen. Stanley, the hired hand (who around here would be called one can short of a six-pack)...
Ghost Beach (2003)
The Curse of Camp Cold Lake (2005)
Yeah, still thinking Goosebumps is better than Fear Street. Stine just has the dynamic between characters going better in these books, there’s more development (a feat considering they’re significantly shorter than the Fear Street books) and they’re creepier. Sure, you go into a Goosebumps book t...
One Day at Horrorland (2003)
One Day at Horrorland is, without a doubt, my all-time favorite Goosebumps book. It was my favorite when I was a little nerdy bookworm in 5th grade, and it is STILL my favorite Goosebumps book after 10+ years. (I’m bad a math, okay? I’m 23 now, you do the math.)This Goosebumps novella is starrin...
Welcome to Camp Nightmare (2003)
more concise. (January 2010) Billy has just been sent off to Camp Nightmoon by his mom and dad.

The Horror at Camp Jellyjam (2003)
"And what about Mom and Dad?" I demanded. "They couldn't have driven very far before they realized the trailer had come loose. Why haven't they found us? Why hasn't the camp found them?"Elliot shrugged. "Beats me," he replied casually. He dodged past me and started to the door. "Wendy, you're jus...
How to Kill a Monster (2003)
I stared up into his hideous face - and gasped.His eyes were deep, dark pools - with tiny worms swimming in them!Ew, nasty....Okay, this is a little different from regular Goosebumps books - the monster shows up early, about 55% of the way through the novel.Gretchen and her stepbrother Clark (I t...
The Abominable Snowman of Pasadena (2003)
Well, THAT was weird. o.O But in a good way, I think. This is less of a horror story and more an adventure story, I'd say.Jordan and Nicole Blake have never seen snow. They've spent their whole lives in sunny Pasadena, California. They try to imagine snow - but can't. Their father is a renow...
Deep Trouble II (1997)

The Werewolf of Fever Swamp (2003)
This was interesting. Grady (12), Emily (16) and their two scientist parents move down to Florida so that Grady's dad's can do some experiments with 6 swamp deer he has. I looked up swamp deer on Wikipedia. They really do exist. But Stine claims they're from South America and Wiki says they'r...
Stay Out of the Basement (2003)
Sooooo... Book two. I liked this story quite a bit more than the series opening book. It had some issues, but on the whole, it was a better story and made a hell of a lot more sense than Welcome to Dead House. The premise here is that the family moved to Cali for Dad to take a job in a science la...
Ghost Camp (2003)
But before I had a chance to eat, Joey called out to me from across the table. "Hey, Harry - look!"I glanced up from my plate.He picked up his fork - and jammed it deep into his neck!"Ohhh." I let out a groan. My fork fell from my hand and clattered to the floor.Joey grinned at me. The fork bobbe...
Say Cheese and Die! (2003)
I loved Goosebumps as a kid, along with every other child my age. There was always a Goosebumps laying within arm's reach of me, even if it had to be hidden in my backpack. I was a member of the R.L. Stine fan club and got an autographed picture (which was banished to the back of my bookcase beca...
The Haunted Mask (2003)
The book I am reviewing is Goosebumps the haunted mask by RL Stines. It is a science fiction book. My thinking of the books theme would be never try to do anything with a bad intention because if you do it you might be in big trouble and also love can destroy all evil in the world.This book is ab...
Monster Blood (2004)
Uhhhhhhh... m'kaaayy then. Look. I know that these are supposed to be for kids. But they should also be good stories. And this one was just... not. It was the kind of book where, if it was aimed at adults, would never have seen the light of day. It was formulaic, all over the place, repetitive, o...
Monster Blood II (1994)
I don't have a copy of the first Monster Blood, but R.L. Stine managed to include the perfect amount of exposition in the beginning which gave me enough of the plot to understand, but not so much to where it drags on. As for the plot of the sequel, Monster Blood II was a decent read, but there's ...
