Goosebumps #59: The Haunted School © 1997 by Parachute Press. Cover Art by Tim Jacobus. Spoiler-Free Review It was a major relief to get a good Goosebumps book after the last two. The Haunted School is easily in my top 3 for the entire series. This book had...
FEATURED POST:
THE HAUNTED SCHOOL
Goosebumps #59: The Haunted School might be my favorite Goosebumps book, or at least close to it. I’m undecided. Regardless, it was a very pleasant surprise after the last two books.
RETURN OF THE MUMMY
Goosebumps #23 Return of the Mummy doesn't live up to its predecessor but still had some good scares. I just wish Goosebumps villains would consistently have better motivations than vague notions of world domination.
STAY YOUNG
It is the time of year for resolutions and aspirations. It is also an opportunity to name the ways in which we hope to become the best versions of ourselves.
FAVORITE BOOKS 2020
My list of favorite books and comics from 2020 is here. I had to leave out a lot of good ones this year.
FAVORITE ALBUMS 2020
I made another list of my favorite albums of the year! And some of them actually came out in 2020!
SILENT NIGHT 2
Fear Street Super Chiller #5: Silent Night 2 is this years Christmas Horror special. It doesn't quite live up to the first book, but there's plenty of stupid criminals, mean girls, and holiday cheer to go around.
GHOST BEACH
Goosebumps #22: Ghost Beach was almost as creepy as I remembered it being. It got more right than it got wrong, but it fell frustratingly short of its potential.
LEANING INTO MY FEARS
When something scares the shit out of me, my reaction is to learn everything I can about it. It’s my way of bringing the monsters out of the dark scary closet and into the light.
THE LOCKER
Richie Tankersley Cusick's The Locker is a creepy, atmospheric teen horror novel that hit all of the right notes for me. While not the most original, it's easily the best I've read in the Point Horror series so far.
GO EAT WORMS
Goosebumps #21 Go Eat Worms really earns its reputation as one of the worst books in the series. The main character is the most horrifying part of the story.
ROLL ME AWAY
Back in the late spring of 2020, I realized that the ongoing quarantine was really taking a toll on my mental health. Then I came across an old revelation: few things can bring me joy the way biking does.
THE HALLOWEEN PARTY
Fear Street Saga #8: The Halloween Party is one of the best-rated books in the series, but I found it to be a convoluted mess. Check out my full review of this year's Halloween Special.
FEAR STREET SAGA: THE BURNING
Fear Street Saga #3: The Burning is a twisted, bloody, and ultimately satisfying conclusion to the trilogy. I had a lot of fun with this one.
