Goosebumps book 15: You Can't Scare Me! - They're coming for you...

Brief Summary: 

Courtney is the worst and so Eddie and Hat (??) decide to try to scare her for a change but are wildly unsuccessful. Also, mud monsters.

Spoilers and Review:

This was a weird one. For one, it was not at all scary. Nothing scary actually happened until the very end, which happens sometimes in Goosebumps, but even then the end was not that fun either. Eddie was just running around trying to scare Courtney (who was SO annoying) and then in the end they get chased by mud monsters which is not even that scary! I can't. Even the cover is gross colors. 

Highlights include when Courtney throws some BEES and Eddie because that's a super wacky thing to do. 

Also, I quite enjoyed the legend of the mud monsters, while not that scary, it was thorough. Apparently in this town when it was founded a very long time ago the poorest settlers built a village of huts along the creek and the townsfolk were real jerks and refused to share the water supply with the mud villagers and they were all starving and sick and then a rain storm BURIED THEM (dark) and now they're some sort of mud zombie who rise up once a year on a full moon. Classic, mildly cool, not that scary though. 

The Rating: 

I've been going back and forth about putting this one in last place because in my mind I really hated The Curse of the Mummy's Tomb but could it have been that bad? Because this one was truly not great. I mean I obviously loved it, but I'm skeptical. In the end I've decided to put it at 14 out of 15 because at least this one was super weird, way weirder than a run-of-the-mill mummy story.

Well the next book is One Day At HorrorLand which is the one I have been waiting for, because my favorite genre of horror is carnival/circus/amusement park horror.
