SILENT NIGHT 3

Fear Street Super Chiller #11: Silent Night 3 was the worst of the Reva Dalby trilogy, but it was still a fun read. YOu can tell RL Stine really enjoys writing Shadyside’s resident mean girl.

HOW I GOT MY SHRUNKEN HEAD

HOW I GOT MY SHRUNKEN HEAD

Goosebumps #39: How I Got My Shrunken Head had all the makings of a good book, but a combination of confusing characters and uninspired magic made for a very forgettable adventure.
THE ETERNAL ENEMY

THE ETERNAL ENEMY

Christopher Pike's The Eternal Enemy had some truly wild ideas, but the plotting was a bit of a mess. I think with a few revisions this could have been a strong one. I can't wait to see how it was adapted for The Midnight Club...
THE ABOMINABLE SNOWMAN OF PASADENA

THE ABOMINABLE SNOWMAN OF PASADENA

Goosebumps #38: The Abominable Snowman of Pasadena is a bit of a mess. It's got some enjoyable elements, but the plotting was disjointed. This one deserves notable accolades for terrible parenting in a Goosebumps book.

THE HEADLESS GHOST

THE HEADLESS GHOST

Goosebumps #37: The Headless Ghost is one of the stronger books in the original series. I appreciated the slight format changes and quick pace, even though it left some
THE WRONG NUMBER 2

THE WRONG NUMBER 2

Fear Street #27: The Wrong Number 2 was a sequel in search of a story. Let's just say I'm glad there is not a third.

BALTIMORE COMIC CON 2022

Baltimore Con was my last show of 2022 and the foreseeable future. I split my table with my friend Lindsay and we made a weekend road trip out of it.

THE HAUNTERD MASK II

Goosebumps #36: The Haunted Mask II won't blow anyone away, but it manages to hold its own as a sequel to one of the better books in the series.

THE LAST VAMPIRE 3: RED DICE

Christopher Pike's The Last Vampire 3: Red Dice continues to be thrilling and action-packed, which makes it enjoyable in spite of many flaws.
