Welcome to Goosebumps!
I, shockingly, did not read the ORIGINAL Goosebumps book back when I was in elementary school. We didn't have this one in our collection, which is a bummer. Regardless, that means I got to read a "new" Goosebumps book that I haven't read before. And it's a solid read for the first book that started the series. It's not the best, but I like it. It's an interesting take on the town, but left me with a lot of questions about how people are moving into the Dead House...
For a ghost story, it's a fun read. Maybe not the book to get started on Goosebumps if you want to get really excited about the series, but nice to read as a middle grade, horror book.
Three out of five stars.

Honestly 4.5, but the ending is open-ended and I normally hate that, but this was not a scary open ending, it was a moment of full circle, not so full I guess. I needed an audio to stay interested in the early stages, but I binged the last 46 percent.

very fun and quick read as always with the goosebumps series. I loved this one too, it left me a bit puzzled at the end which I loved! and although I could anticipate some things from chapter to chapter, the ending was still quite a surprise. reccomend.

Listened to this one on audio and read along with the paperback. I liked this one but it wasn't as thrilling and fun as some of my favorites. It was alright. :) - Richard
