But I liked the non-spooky books too even though I'm pretty sure they were unpopular, the book about the kid that learns to fly was great

Give Yourself Goosebumps

>> No.10153808

Goosebumps are unimaginative, soulless pulp supermarket brand re-workings of horror tropes marketed at children who, not knowing any better, grew up to venerate them for the nostalgia rather than any inherent quality, of which there is none.

Revolutionary, its incredible to see how horror has progressed while still paying homage to its roots with writers like R. L. Stine.
In 1917 a young man read Stine's timeless classic The Ghost Next Door and was profoundly inspired. He was one of the few that truly understood the books message; that the scariest monster is the one we can't see.
That man's name? H. P. Lovecraft.

someone told me to read call of cthulhu, but checking at my local library got me confused, is it tales of cthulhu? someone already gave me a link to read his works online but those feel annoying and feel better to have the book in my hand. I could but the book but don't know if I will like it

had a great time reading these as a kid. Stine and King got me into horror, which got me into more and more horror novels, short stories, movies games, til I eventually got PTSD from shitting my pants one too many times from engaging in too much horror. Now I don't have anything to do with horror.

Someone knows the story with the slime that grows bigger and bigger ?

>> No.10157679

Are you talking about any of the four Monster Blood books or The Blob That Ate Everyone? I never liked the latter as a kid, the magic typewriter seemed cliched even back then as did the convenient ending. I think I enjoyed Monster Blood I - IV more out of obligation, the sequels basically just went full Honey I Blew Up the Baby.

>> No.10157706

>>10157679
I dont remember which one, it is about a kid that buys a can from a "magic" store and then this shit gets bigger and bigger and some time later the slime eats a witch, and this somehow kills the slime if I remember correct
