Bad Moonlight by R.L. Stine

4.0

“Bad Moonlight” is part of the Fear Street Super Chiller series. These books are similar to the Fear Street originals, but tend to be longer (around 175 to 250 pages). Although the books are longer, they are still short compared to most young adult literature and remain quick and easy reads.

“Bad Moonlight” follows Danielle and her new band as they perform gigs and begin to get popular. Danielle, having just suffered the recent death of her parents, is suffering from traumatic violent fantasies. Danielle has to learn that her fantasies are related to the bands secret.

I liked how Stine incorporated the group’s identity into the music, especially when Danielle discuss some of the lyrics for a new song with the band. “Bad Moonlight” actually had me guessing for longer than most Fear Street novels. I think this was because of the way Stine focuses on Danielle’s experiences more than the bands comradery. I was glad for this because it made the book more exciting than other Fear Street novels.
