Frankenturkey 2 Review: He’s back…
In our last review, Frankenturkey (1994) it was concluded that the book was a bit of a bore. With Thanksgiving just gone, and in the spirit of fairness, I thought it would be a good idea to review Frankenturkey 2.

Frankenturkey: A Zombified Thanksgiving Nightmare
With Thanksgiving not long away, I thought I would read and review Betsy Haynes’ Frankenturkey. This was the 4th book in the Bone Chillers series, which was one of the many YA horror series that jumped on the Goosebumps bandwagon. Not long ago I reviewed R. L. Stine’s Attack of the Jack-O’-Lanterns, another holiday horror aimed at a YA audience released in 1996, which got me curious in this book.
Alone in the Dark: A Review
In the 2000s there was a trend for movie studios to cash in on successful horror franchises from the previous decade.

Sounds like a cash grab right? You’re not wrong!
Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey Review

Are Goosebumps Books Scary?
Only one book has ever brought me close to being scared, and it was not even what most would describe as a fully-fledged horror novel! You can see what I mean in my review of MINE by Robert McCammon. But on this reflection, along with being a massive Goosebumps fan, got me thinking… are Goosebumps books scary?
