Two fun blogs!

articulation brought this to my attention--how many of you read the Goosebumps books when you were a kid? In the same vein, how many of you thought that by association, R.L. Stine was the coolest thing since the lava lamp? Yeah, though so XD Me too. Though I can honestly say that only one of the books ever actually scared me ^^;;

Anyway, there's actually a blog about it--an adult is reading back through the books and reviewing each of them. I've only read a couple so far, but I enjoy them. One, it's a nice trip down Memory Lane, and two, it confirms what I thought when I picked one of the books up at B&N one day and paged through it for the sake of nostalgia.

...that thought being, "How in blazes did I ever think these were good??"

There's also one for Fear Street. I never read as much of the basic Fear Street series, though for a while I was stuck on a couple of the spin-off series.

Enjoy!

Heh. Man, I remember the Fear St. books. I liked 'em, but I have an affection for bad pulp horror. And I mean BAD pulp horror. Brian Lumley, for instance. Goosebumps were too far below my reading level... I loved Christopher Pike, though, and then graduated to Stephen King.

Nothing wrong with pulp horror! And as far as bad pulp horror goes...well, can't get much better than Fear Street *laugh* Some of them are just awful. And I don't think it's that good when I find myself hoping the antagonist wins, just because the protagonist is so god-awful and annoying XDD

I never got into Stephen King. Tried reading Carrie, but something about the writing style didn't work for me *shrug*
