The Barking Ghost (Goosebumps #32) by R. L. Stine

2 stars This book started off with a really promising idea. There was enough weird stuff going on that I was pretty interested in how things would turn out.

Say Cheese and Die! (Goosebumps #4) by R. L. Stine

3 stars As I’ve said in other reviews, I was a pretty fearful child so Goosebumps books were not my jam. This is the third one I’ve read as an adult and it’s the first one I picked that didn’t turn out to be more sad that scary (Hide and Shriek, Phantom of the Auditorium– I…

Rick and Morty, Volume 1 by Zac Gorman

4 stars This is a pretty great graphic novel. If you want more Rick and Morty, this is a good place for just that. Don’t expect it to be exactly like the show, but it is still pretty awesome. One of the things that makes me have a love-hate relationship with the show is its…

Bean Stalker and Other Hilarious Scary Tales by Kiersten White

5 stars This book was absolutely fantastic. It’s basically all of my favorite things. Creative fairy tale retelling? Check. Zombies and other slightly spooky things? Check. A ton of grammar/spelling puns and word play? Check check check check check. Such a hilariously awesome read. Going into it, I wasn’t sure how “scary” it would book….
