Fear Street Super Chiller #11: Silent Night 3 © 1996 by Parachute Press. Cover Art by Bill Schmidt. Sequel to: Silent Night & Silent Night 2 Spoiler-Free Review Silent Night 3 was definitely the weakest of the three books. As much as I enjoy reading Reva’s...
FEATURED POST:
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.
ONE EVIL SUMMER
Fear Street #25: One Evil Summer was a really fun book. It was unhinged in all the best ways, and it checked off all the things that I have grown to love about Fear Street.
AMSTERDAM 2019
I was in Berlin for a long and stressful work trip, and I decided to tack on a trip to Amsterdam to the end of it. Four years later, I finally got around to recapping it.
BEAST FROM THE EAST
Goosebumps #43: Beast from the East was unapologetically weird, and a better book for it. It was the most fun I've had with a Goosebumps book in awhile.
STRANGER WITH MY FACE
Lois Duncan's Stranger with My Face was deceptively long, but I’m a sucker for a good slow-burn thriller. Also I found out there is a Lifetime Original movie adapted from it. I watched it and included my bullet review.
EGG MONSTERS FROM MARS
Goosebumps #42: Egg Monsters from Mars was an exceptionally weird one. There were some significant weaknesses, but I found myself thoroughly entertained. It's also got the most fucked up Goosebumps ending I've read so far.
THE PROM QUEEN
Fear Street #15: The Prom Queen followed a familiar Fear Street formula, but I believe it did so better than most.
THE FACE
Fear Street #35: The Face managed to be an enjoyable read in spite of some serious flaws. Moral of the story is never trust a psychiatrist from Shadyside.
BAD HARE DAY
Goosebumps #41: Bad Hare Day lives up to its reputation as one of the worst books in the series. But I at least had more fun dunking on it than the last few Monster Blood books.
WITCH
Christopher Pike's Witch was one of the five other books adapted for Christopher Pike's Midnight Club. It was also the blandest book I've read of his.
NIGHT OF THE LIVING DUMMY III
Goosebumps #40: Night of the Living Dummy III marks my 100th review on this blog! While the book didn't completely reinvent itself, it managed to be a pleasant surprise. It was easily my favorite of the Living Dummy books so far.
SWITCHED
Fear Street #31: Switched started out with such a unique and exciting premise that I felt extremely let down by its over-used and predictable twist ending.
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.
