The Cuckoo Clock of Doom. Just freaked me out that he had erased his little sister's existance and didn't seem phased by it.

What was/is Goosebumps really? I'm swedish, so I've never really read or seen it. I grew up on Moomin and Astrid Lindgren.

The superhero one where the bad guy wins by trapping the super fast guy in a loop where he’s stuck running forever or something. First time for me where the hero guy didn’t find a way to win.

I grew up reading Karlsson on the roof. Great stuff. To answer your question, goosebumps are those little bumps on your skin when you get cold.

Actually I just read a synopsis of that story and I think I’m mixing it up with another one.

I still love his style. He ends every chapter in a "scary" way, which is very amusing.

>Chapter 1
>I'm twelve years old
>We just moved to this town
>I'm unpacking some boxes
>I feel a hand on my shoulder! :O:O:O

>Chapter 2
>It was my dad

They're short horror novels for kids in primary school. Each one is standalone, and they all have goofy names. There were probably 15-20 of them in every classroom I was ever in, so just about everyone from the 1990s onward read them in the US

Were they actually good, or are they just an artefact of the times nowadays?

Compared to a lot of children's series, yes they were better than average, but they are mostly just nostalgic: the first horror novels most kids read. They're certainly not worth reading as an adult.

I don't really know how to answer this. They're children's novels. They still engage children today, if that's what you're asking.
