Twist Ending: the Goosebumps Blog

So back before Harry Potter came out, moms were fretting. Yes, kids were discovering the joys of reading, but they were reading Goosebumps. I'm not sure why they were so frightened. Was it because kids were indulging in kindergarten level Lovecraftian horror, or was it because the books were bad. I have a mental picture of R. L. Stein sitting on the toilet literally shitting out another sub-par Goosebumps novel hoping that he'd get another pay cheque fast enough to fuel his hungry smack problem. These novels, if you can call them that, are easily not good. That said, Goosebumps helped me improve my French reading abilities. Does this make me a hypocrite for taking the piss?

Twist Ending takes the piss better than I ever could. It focuses on what made goosebumps the phenom that it was, back in the day: the twist ending. mps. Troy Steele, the site's author, expertly examines the twist as well as the shitty ass fake cliff hangers and makes delicious comedic pie out of it. For that, it's worth checking out.
