Goosebumps #19 – “Deep Trouble”

I have to give this book props for a couple of reasons. First, the scene on the cover actually did happen. There was a shark attack, though it’s not exactly the most important part of the book. I guess if

Goosebumps #41 – “Bad Hare Day”

Well, well, well… Didn’t think I’d be seeing you again. I’m happy to say that I’m going to be doing my damndest to get back to doing regular recaps. The last few months have been a little nutty– Whoever wants

Goosebumps #36 – “The Haunted Mask II”

Halloween only comes once a year, but when you recap Goosebumps books, you can celebrate just as often as you’ve got the Halloween-themed books to supply it. In true Halloween spirit, I made sure to gobble down as much leftover

Are You Afraid of the Dark? – “The Tale of Jake and the Leprechaun”

This meeting of the Midnight Society starts with Gary announcing a “special situation” this week. Apparently, Eric’s grandfather died and now he wants to tell story in Pop-pop’s honor. Bummer, Eric. Major bummer. However, my sympathy is short-lived because Eric
