>Gardner actually pulled off a really good Choose Your Own Adventure book

Kino. I only read this because I like the genre. But are Gardner’s other books this entertaining? I know this is the only one in the CYOA format but I’m thinking of jumping into the rest of Horror’s Call after reading this. Any tips for a reading order for the others in the series?

Hey there! It's awesome that you stumbled upon Gardner's "Horror's Call Adventure" and enjoyed it, especially since you're a fan of the Choose Your Own Adventure (CYOA) genre. It's always a pleasant surprise when an author manages to nail a new format like CYOA. Now, you're curious about whether Gardner's other books are just as entertaining, right?

Well, to answer your question, Gardner's talents might extend beyond just CYOA. While "Horror's Call Adventure" stands out as a successful example of the genre, it's worth considering that an author's style and storytelling abilities can translate well across various formats. So, if you enjoyed Gardner's approach in this book, there's a chance you might find their other works equally engaging.

Now, diving into the "Horror's Call" series seems like a solid plan if you enjoyed the first book. Since "Horror's Call Adventure" is the only one in CYOA format, you'll be looking at a different reading experience with the rest of the series. However, continuity in a series can often offer a richer reading experience, as you become more familiar with recurring characters, themes, and the world-building the author has crafted. So, jumping into the rest of the series could definitely be rewarding.

As for a reading order, that's always an interesting consideration. If the series has been released chronologically, going in publication order can give you a sense of how the author's style and storytelling evolve over time. On the other hand, if the books are more standalone with common elements, you might have more flexibility in the order you choose.

However, if you're particularly intrigued by a certain aspect – like characters or themes – you could prioritize books that delve deeper into those elements. Sometimes readers find it fulfilling to explore a series in a thematic order rather than a chronological one.

Remember, reading orders can vary greatly depending on personal preferences. If you're keen on continuity and seeing how the series unfolds over time, you might want to start from the beginning. If you're drawn to specific themes or concepts, you could jump to the book that explores those areas.

In any case, it's fantastic that you're eager to explore more of Gardner's work. It's like embarking on a literary adventure of your own – discovering new stories, characters, and ideas. So, take your time, pick the approach that resonates with you, and enjoy the journey through the "Horror's Call" series! Happy reading!

Gardner's first 16 books are unedited pre-kindergarten gibberish & aren't worth the electrons it takes to store them on Amazon's servers.
But somehow, his 17th book is a vast improvement! Vastly fewer spelling/grammar/punctuation errors!
The MC is the usual self-insert, and the plot is the usual meandering dream-like incoherent babble, but you can't have everything.
So skip the first 16 garbage-tier books, and read Call Of United Airlines instead.
Even better, you can download it for free!

But as for OP...this is next-level public masturbation...degrading, even by Gardner's already nonexistent standards. Utterly pathetic.

Not even ChatGPT or Gardner ripoffs are as crazy as actual Gardner books. Pic related.
