used books can be cool sometimes because it's interesting when people write little notes in the margins



this one is different



it's greg





it's all greg



over 131 pages there are 471 gregs

but there is an anomaly



i'm not sure i'll ever find the answer

is this a coded spy message? who is greg and what does he want? i haven't slept in weeks



because there are more out there...

My school had one of those programs where you had to pick out books to read and answer questions on them to get points that were worth a grade. I read sooooo many Goosebumps books doing that because they were short and piss-easy reads, and it was easier to read like 7 of those in 6 weeks than one or two long rear end books like loving Little Women or some poo poo. Sometimes I'd go through like 2 or 3 Goosebumps in a single week.

Eventually I ran out of Goosebumps and moved over to Fear Street, but those were awful and not nearly as fun to read. And then I discovered Redwall. :hellyeah:



Never heard of this Greg guy though. He must be real important.

Well, in Whoville they say - that his tiny hands grew three sizes that day.

Whoever it was that made those notes, we can be sure of 2 things: 1) They were a real rear end in a top hat marking up those books like that and 2) This person was/is probably a serial killer.

OP your job is now to track down this person and put them in jail where they likely belong. I expect to see some results from your investigation in 2 weeks.

That was the original. The rat was named Cluny. And yes it was sick.

Greg is a stupid sounding name

And while you’re here, Mr. Stine, can you confirm/deny that these were written by a group of writers under a pen name? Because I seem to recall the books varying wildly in story-telling ability. There was that one that was basically “There’s a Monster at the End of this Book” and then that one about the cursed kids who live in a school for eternity and is a pretty fun read and is pretty atmospheric and spooky, at least for a kid’s book.

when you think about it we'll all become ghost writers some day. but i am unaware of any such ghost writers in regards to the goosebumps franchise, nor would i be at liberty to disclose such knowledge if they did indeed exist

they're all weird and hosed up in their own way. there's one where the kid goes to a summer camp and is forced to shoot two girls defecting (north korea parallel??) but then it's revealed that it was training to see if the kid was ready to go on a mission to another planet. and that planet is... EARTH

there's also a couple that allude to something almost approaching romance if you're feeling a little spicy

breaking kayfabe i can genuinely and completely unironically talk about goosebumps for hours. it shaped my entire fascination with horror as an artistic subject in creating everything from short stories to photography to painting to filmmaking. it's infecting others, my 7 year old son started a ghost hunting club at school and it sounds serious. he made nametags and a ouija board out of cardboard it's adorable

I suspect the variable quality is more to do with this: me and my mother met him at a writers convention and he told her that he wrote a typical goosebumps in 14 days, and if pressed, could do it in 10. No mention of a team.

he's gotten obsessed with those TOP 5 GHOST VIDEOS on youtube which i think is fine as long as we watch them together and in each one i explain the ways they could be logically explained. he doesn't fall for the orb bullshit. when i was a kid though our school took a field trip to this ancient graveyard in the middle of nowhere newfoundland and all the graves were of kids who died all at the same time. i took pics and there were GHOST ORBS and i was freaking out. some kid's foot sunk into one of the graves too, it was sick. i don't know why we went there.

i've been flipping through the poetry collection and it's quite something
