Recs if you like Escape from the Carnival of Horrors (Give Yourself Goosebumps, #1)...

Spooky summer fun for all ages, from cute picture books with spooky elements, to creepy middle grade graphic novels, to teen + YA thrills, to adult-level gore and a sprinkling of erotic horror/dark romance. Books on this list have a heavy summer theme, either highlighting the season or taking place in settings like summer camps, fairgrounds, beaches, or water parks, and have some sort of creepy or scary element to them.

it’s vaguely the 2010’s. the walls are painted a garish shade of purple, littlest pet shop pets line the walls, and everything smells like a jolly watermelon smencil.

these are the books that I remember from a childhood spent reading voraciously. the nostalgia is baked in.

have you ever read a book and thought...someone please let me take the reins to save this dumpster fire? well have i got good news for you....

⚠️ (Under Construction) ⚠️I realized i didn’t consolidate all of the goosebumps books after i did the fear street ones.

a definitive list of the “choose your own adventure” line of goosebumps books by R.L. Stine.

this list exists purely to fuel my pipe dream of having a full collection.
