actually paul trimbley's first book a head full of ghosts i thought was done brilliantly that was a really interesting take on the possession genre you really had to think for yourself as the reader if the girl was possessed or not but it's done through this lens of reality tv where you're not really sure what's real and what's not and it just really worked
I READ 11 BOOKS IN FEBRUARY! | Reading Wrap Up
then i read this appearance at devil's rock which was his second book and i liked it i thought it was a bit slow and it didn't really answer my questions but it was an okay book overall
it's got vampires and werewolves and a lot of dark humor very dark black humor it spoke my language
it was still a really fun read it gave me all those nostalgic childhood feelings of sitting underneath the tree in my front yard as a kid on a nice summer day and reading goosebump books all afternoon it really made me smile a lot
it got to the point where i would be reading one of the stories and i'd be thinking this is great but i already know it's not going to have an ending and sure enough boom no ending
it was cheesy and entertaining not my favorite christopher pike book at all but within the point horror structure i think he did a decent job
i still thought this was a really fun and charming read again gave me all of those goosebumps vibes this one actually really reminded me of the werewolf of fever swamp which is book 14 in the goosebumps series but i really liked this i thought it was cute the ending was actually very sweet and heartfelt and the book overall is pretty well written
the whole time i was reading that i was like this better have answers man and it didn't and at that point i was like maybe paul trimley's books really aren't for me
i would still say this isn't quite as good as the haunted mask obviously that's like one of my favorite books ever
this was such a cozy fun well-written book it is brisk fast-paced to the point
i will say a couple of the stories are a bit longer and i feel like they could drag a bit in the middle and risk getting boring after a little bit i was kind of like all right i kind of want to pick up the pace here and move on to the next story so for that reason i did end up giving this three stars i think i actually gave it three and a half but overall i thought this was a really well written collection of stories
