Over the past couple of weeks, I have really got the sci-fi bug. Whilst you won’t find me watching Star Trek or Star Wars anytime soon, I have been enjoying science fiction, particularly books that feature extra-terrestrials, but with a horror twist.
This of course led me to research what sci-fi horror titles are out there. Here is that list!
Convinced his parents are aliens, Rob decides he must collect proof. My Alien Parents is 44 pages long, the shortest Stine book I have read.
According to the Goosebumps Fanwiki, R. L. Stine took inspiration from Stephen Kings’s Thinner when writing Chicken Chicken. Will it compare? Surely not?! Let’s scratch a little deeper…
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. I liked the idea of the previous book, but its execution (much of that like Frankenturkey in the first book) was poor – but will this demonic turkey redeem itself in the sequel?
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.
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?
