i had a few of those when i was really young, until my dad read one of the bad endings aloud in such a sinister voice that i started crying uncontrollably and my mom made him throw them all out

I had one of these too, it was set in a haunted amusement park. I had one of the Mario ones as well but I don’t remember which one

The goosebumps ones were great because half the endings were just insanely stupid puns. In one of them someone says that if you go left or whatever you'll be "getting ahead of yourself" and if if you pick it you turn into a severed head. I think there's also one where your house overlooks a graveyard and if you look at it at night the headstones rearrange themselves into UR DED and you die

I read all of the Lone Wolf fantasy CYOA books as a kid, they had like statsheets and inventory pages to use to keep track of your hit points and poo poo.

For RNG there was a page in the back with a randomized grid of numbers ranging from 0 to 9, you were supposed to close your eyes and stab it with your pencil.

I thought I'd imagined it but I checked and there was also one where your guy constantly thinks about how he can't sweat and in most of the routes it's because it turns out you were a dog in disguise all along. RL Stine had the greatest job in the world

I was more of a Bruce Coville kid and now I'm afraid to look either of them up in case they're writing weird erotica, cozy detective stories, or ranting about trans people, the three fates for all children's authors

back when i was still helping authors get published, every writers conference had a "how to write sex" panel loaded with literary agents and they'd all be like "okay, honestly, here are some YA authors who for some reason wrote books about loving that nobody has heard of, but we sure did get them published. let's read some passages."

Search for Snout was a hosed up book. Only cliffhanger ending that still haunts me

I look and dress like this so not even a single chinese tourist among a busload from the most bumfuck factory city travelling overseas for the first time would waste a single kb on even accidentally taking a picture of me. Cheers, mates.
