For a client
If a book pitched itself as a 'spooky Victorian murder mystery', the lead figure is a sceptic, but during the book it becomes obvious there is something paranormal going on...
(assume well done)
Last camp book in the original Goosebumps series!
This is definitely my favorite camp book in the Goosebumps series. It has everything: gaslighting, ghosts, attempted murder, snakes, and betrayal.
It was also scarier than a LOT of other Goosebumps books and it made me start thinking about JK Rowling.
The genius of (the morally questionable) Rowling was that her books graduated in difficulty, subject matter, and characterization as they went on. Kids who were eleven when the first Harry Potter book came out got to grow up WITH Harry and deal with more and more mature things right next to him as they had to deal with more mature things in their own lives.
It was brilliant.
And I’m not saying Stine is Rowling or anything (Stine is OBVIOUSLY better than Rowling even if he never read the story I sent him as a kid. At least he’s not a TERF. That I know of - please don’t correct me), but the books have been getting scarier and it would be WILD if the last one served as a bridge to the scarier and far more violent Fear Street books.
Imagine: A kid goes through a scarier than average Goosebumps story and the family moves in the end like Welcome to Dead
House only pull up to a new house in a new town and the kid gets out to survey the scene. It’s quiet and he realizes that there aren’t any birds singing. And it’s chilly even though it’s summer. And what does that street sign say?
“Fear Street? What kind of town names a street like that?”
And then nothing. That’s the end.
I think that would have been the coolest think Stine could have done but, alas, it didn’t work out like that. But we’ll talk about all that later.

In the shadowed woods where whispers creep, An owl with eyes like lanterns deep.
Perched on a branch, it watches the night,
Guarding secrets in the pale moonlight.
With feathers dark as the midnight sky,
It hoots a warning, a ghostly cry.
Beware the forest, where shadows play,
For the owl knows what the lost won't say.

And if the BBC series "A Ghost Story For Christmas" isn't enough at 8 episodes, here's a hefty scroll of such stories. List by writer Ray Newman: https://precastreinforced.co.uk/2024/11/24/the-infinite-supply-of-bbc-ghost-stories-for-christmas/ #spooky #halloween #ghoststory #horror
precastreinforced.co.uk · The infinite supply of BBC ghost stories for ChristmasThere are only eight episodes of the BBC Ghost Story for Christmas, produced between 1971 and 1978. That’s not enough. Here are some suggestions for where to go next. First, let’s address a technic…

comics.lucentinian.comA Spooky DealWhy did the ghost decide against hiring Elias Woodstone as their publicist? Because he kept trying to haunt their deals!
When I originally read this, I was impressed that the kid could basically fall asleep on command. I’m pretty quick to fall asleep and my wife gets pretty jealous of it, but I can’t just zonk out when I’m super stressed about things - like I can only imagine this kid was.
And I really enjoyed the fever dream state of this book. Absolutely dreadful episode of the show, but the book was good.
Except for one thing: You know how in movies they sometimes try to be cute and slip in names as an homage to the movie-maker’s influences? Like how in Friday the 13th, Tommy was at Karloff’s Garage? Or how in Scream, Rose McGowan said “Wes Carpenter?”
And you know how it NEVER feels natural? These names are critical to the point where they seem almost unique to that individual. Are there other people named Wes? Sure! But in the context of horror movies, is there really any other Wes? Or a Karloff?
It takes me right out of the story.
It’s even harder in books because I can’t exactly read when my eyes are rolling in my head.
That said, Stine has avoided it almost entirely until this book. He fell HARD in this book.
Two characters. One named Bruce. One named Wayne. They’re always together so it’s “Bruce said,” “Wayne added.”
Ugh.

I read a thing in the internet that talked about hyper-fixation and neurodivergent people and, honestly, it sounded a lot like me. I’ve never been tested for it, but my oldest popped up out of the blue and said they think this might be a thing and sent me the information.
It was super interesting to me because I was raised being called “fickle,” and tough to buy presents for because nobody would know what I would be obsessed with come Christmas.
And make no mistake: I get obsessed with things.
I don’t think that Stine is in the same boat or anything, but I do think it’s entertaining to see him slide into something he obviously enjoys and work it out of his system through a few books. It’s like he accidentally stumbles onto something and goes “oh, YEAH!” and then builds the next few books around that thing until he gets bored or finds something new to focus on.
This is assuming he wrote them in the same order they were published.
You could see this start with Beast From the East (admittedly with a break for Say Cheese and Die Again) where Stine was really leaning into quick stories that focused on excitement rather than trying to build a creepy story.
This is just fun stuff.
Also, I realize it sounds like I’m throwing shade, but I’m not. While *I* am the type of guy that could easily look forward to a creepy monthly novella, I imagine that there are WAY more people who would appreciate the variety in this series. It’s almost a service to kids to remind them that there are more worlds out there that are fun to read than just horror.
Even if it is a little goofy.

We're going spooky again!

I went out #walking after 8 PM, something I almost never do, because I was listening to a classic #ArtBell broadcast from 2001 (hilariously about how modern digital framerates on DVD and early digital camcorders and the like are training our perception to be able to see "shadow people") and the windy night with barren sidewalks seemed like a perfectly #spooky atmosphere.
I get the feeling that the cover artist was given the briefest of descriptions for these books. Snowman of Pasadena didn’t have a rampaging beast and this book didn’t have an evil rabbit.
Or, at least not a traditionally evil rabbit. The rabbit is the protagonist’s little sister who was turned into a rabbit and the rest of the book is him trying to find a cure.
But I really liked this book for nostalgia’s sake. I used to be really into magic tricks. I watched every televised special, read every library book (and they get weird. One made sure to emphasize that magic tricks are just TRICKS and I am never EVER to say I’m a wizard, warlock, or witch, because those are real and real servants of Satan. What a weird book to be in an elementary school library), and hassled my folks to take me to magic shops.
I bought linking rings. I got a magic set for my birthday. I learned card tricks. There was this really easy trick that I would do for folks that would blow their minds (making a coin disappear from under a cloth in my hand) and nobody could figure out how I did it. Only a friend’s mom and I knew in our groups of friends and family.
I was never super good at magic or anything, though. My tricks were basic and all sorts of people say they don’t like magic. It fell away as I got older. I still like watching some specials, though there was something special about the 90s where the whole country would stop what they were doing to see if David Copperfield could really make the Statue of Liberty disappear.
Now, I think we’ve become too jaded as a society. Too many people who don’t want to feel had and unwilling to be awed by anything.
It’s a bummer.
