GOOSEBUMPS RANKED from Almost Great to Best
The Second half of my Goosebumps official ranking, starting with the almost great and counting down to the best.
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
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.
FAVORITE MOVIES 2022
I made another favorite movies list!
FAVORITE BOOKS 2022
Lots of good reading this year. This was a tough list to narrow down.
FAVORITE ALBUMS 2022
Another year, more music. Lots of doom metal, a few dance jams, and a playlist to confuse all the algorithms trying to recommend me new shit.
THE CHRISTMAS KILLER
Patricia Windsor's The Christmas Killer is a perfect blend of atmospheric horror and twisted murder mystery. It's also some of the best writing I've seen in a Point horror paperback.
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
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.
THE LAST VAMPIRE 2: BLACK BLOOD
Christopher Pike's The Last Vampire 2: Black Blood mostly succeeds as a sequel in spite of some very dated and problematic representations of race in the opening chapter.
