The Abominable Snowman of Pasadena by R.L. Stine

3.0

 I recently got a bit of the nostalgia bug when thinking back to the Goosebumps books I read as a kid. Goosebumps, and by extension the Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark series, definitely introduced me to the genre of horror. After Goosebumps I moved onto classics like Dracula and Jekyll/Hyde, then on to the gown up stuff throughout my life and to this day. Well, this nostalgia bug got me wanting to re-collect the original 62 run of Goosebumps books, and in their first run printings because of the amazing covers. Perhaps the best part of the series was the covers. Next up;
#38, The Abominable Snowman Of Pasadena

Quite the adventure story to begin with, taking place in the wilderness of Alaska. This makes a unique setting, as most Goosebumps books take place in cities or small towns of America.
The book takes a very strange third act turn however, and it lost me at that point. I do wish they’d made a tv episode of this one, though.
Still a fun entry in the Goosebumps line.
