Goosebumps series by R.L. Stine

Post by Fu Zaila »

One of the first books I ever read was a Goosebumps book - The Girl Who Cried Monster. I was very intrigued because I love creepy stories. I've read many books since, and have understood that R.L. Stine's works aren't the best ones out there. But I still won't forget the nostalgia of reading a Goosebumps book.
My favorite ones include -
One Day at Horrorland - I remember being absolutely thrilled by the ending!
The Horror at Camp Jellyjam - It was fun and creepy and really interesting.
The Shocker on Shocker Street - It was a fun ride, almost like Horrorland, but more adventurous! The ending, like usual, was baffling.

If you like fast-paced, fun, creepy, short books, I'd definitely recommend Stine's books. Have you read any of them? Which are your favorites? Why do you like/dislike Goosebumps books? :tiphat:

I agree! I've read most of them but not all. What are your favourites?

I've read all of them, and I think Welcome to Dead House was one of my least favorites. I loved Say Cheese or Die!

I read so many of these books when I was younger. I was fascinated with Piano Lessons Can Be Murder, probably because I wanted to play piano.

I remember reading these books in 4th and 5th grade. When I moved from Kansas to Oklahoma, my new 6th grade class was reading A Shocker on Shock Street for storytime, and they were all super surpised at the twist ending. Of course, being the cultured and sophisticated reader than I am, I had already read this particular entry in the series and knew that the books always ended up with a twist.

I also like the Choose Your Adventure style books. They were a lot of fun!

That sounds like a fun challenging childhood! Do I have to guess who won? ;)
