I knew checking this site every day since August would pay off. =3

As a Slappy book, I knew this book would be awful, but I didn't think it would be quite that awful. I guess that's when you make the antagonist the protagonist without actually changing him.

Sad that you apparently decided not to do the new HorrorLand books after all, as some of those are also horrible. Or at least monotonous and predictable.

I'm no longer saying yes or no to the Horrorland books. Let me actually get through my existing obligations to Blogger Beware as outlined in the sidebar and then decide if it ends or keeps going from there[Note 1][Note 2]

Troy, my wedding is in December and I would love another update sometime before then. It would be my favorite wedding gift. Just something for you to think about.

(Actually, a greater wedding gift would be a review of a Give Yourself Goosebumps[1] book...but I don't want to push my luck.)

I guess I can just return that Sangria set then[2]

Slappy wakes up. He is greeted at the airport by Jimmy O'James, who has with him Slappy's two children. Slappy spins the top on the kitchen counter and the book ends before the reader can discern whether it fell or kept spinning.[3]

Been a while since I read the book, but...I thought it ended with Slappy waking up, telling Jimmy about his dream, and then Jimmy starts to cast the spell from the dream and says "sometimes dreams come true."

Did Slappy puke? I don't get it, how did Slappy turn into an angel? Ande to have kids, did he marry? Do dummies marry? Why was he at the airport? Do evil-dummy-idiots have nightmares?[3]

Anyone who hasn't watched Inception[3] and therefore hasn't gotten the twist ending reference should be ASHAMED. This is basically Troy's own twist on the twist endings. You think it's gonna be the actual twist ending from the book, but as much of the book's foul excrements have already made too much of a presence in this entry as it is, there was therefore no reason to give the book further satisfaction.

It's Morbidiculous' fault for not updating the Reference Guide, really (Because I should be the first one to throw that stone)[4]

The Inception ending joke would have been funnier if Troy Steele's previous entry wasn't a really bad Inception joke.[3]

I mean I've seen Star Trek[5] episodes that were much more like I Live In Your Basement than that

Inception jokes are never funny[3] unless they're about Ellen Page's[6] neckerchiefs

Hmmmm hello? Since the "contact the author" button doesn't work, I'll just join you this way.
I wanted to thank you a lot for all you wrote. Your blog is just wonderful and I just couldn't stop reading until I was at the end. Thank you for making me laugh so much, I just loved it, even if I didn't know half the books you presented (we don't have all of them in France. Maybe it's a bless).
Anyway! Thanks for the laughs, the entertainment, the laughs, the tests, the laughs, and the twist endings. And maybe the laughs too, but I don't know if I mentionned it.

Well, that explains why my emails have gotten less frequent. Fixed, and thanks

Notes[edit | edit source]

  1. As was implied by Troy's comment, at this point, the sidebar did not include HorrorLand.
  2. In retrospect, the only book included in the sidebar (when this comment was made) that Troy failed to review was Triple Header: Book 1.
  3. The joke is that the user is called "chickenlover".

References[edit | edit source]

  1. A spinoff series to Goosebumps consisting of interactive gamebooks.
  2. Glassware is a common wedding gift.
  3. 3.0 3.1 3.2 3.3 3.4 Movie!
  4. There's a Bible story where a crowd is going to stone a woman to death. Jesus challenges the crowd to only throw a stone if they've never sinned, which saves the woman's life. The joke is that Troy is being hypocritical (to comedic effect) by accusing Morbidiculous of not updating enough.
  5. Famed sci-fi series.
  6. (Now Elliot Page.)
