Stine is the kind of author who likes to ask questions, and in Monster Blood, he asks the question: what if slime could eat you and everybody that you loved? I’ll give you one guess what this book is about. Stine, I love you, but sometimes you do not try. I also have to give a quick shoutout to the tagline on the front of this book, which says: “It will just kill you.” R.L. The only reason this book ranks higher on the scarier scale than Ghost Beach is because the main character never turns out to be a ghost, which means he is in a position to be scared by ghosts. Then another person turns out to be a ghost. Then a dog named Petey turns out to be a ghost. Hey, guess what happens at the end of Welcome To Dead House, a book that starts off really scary, and strange, and exciting?
You’re reading the whole book, completely unaware that there’s even the possibility that anyone might turn into a bird and then - bam. There’s nothing scary about this book, except for the very end, when the main character turns into a bird and eats a worm for absolutely no reason. She then uses these powers to do horrible things to her bullies. Stine, and you should know this, given how you’ve spent most of your life writing about ghosts.įor this reason, Ghost Beach, a book about a kid who discovers that his friend is a ghost, and then that some random people he’s only just met are ghosts, and then that he himself is a ghost, is not a very scary book.īe Careful What You Wish For… is mostly an extremely boring Goosebumps book about a girl who is so sick of getting picked on that when she meets a mysterious old woman who grants her magical powers. If everyone is a ghost, then no one’s scared of each other. The problem is, everyone being ghosts is not very scary. Stine to write invitations for your birthday party, he would somehow write about everyone being ghosts. Sometimes, you’ll be halfway through reading a Goosebumps book, and it’ll be really scary, and strange, and exciting - and then everyone will turn out to be ghosts.
