Anonymous said... I thought I'd never read this, but I remembered the plot pretty soon into the synopsis. I wouldn't be too hard on the Reality Police; they only want to end the book, and I'm sure we can all sympathise with that noble goal. I think "Rise and Shine. Forever." means that he should stay awake forever? Or that he's trapped in a cycle of waking up to something stupid? I never read the parody books; according to Wikipedia, there were only two, though. Were you thinking of reviewing them to see how they compare to the genuine article? MAY 19, 2008 1:45 AM

troy steele said... Well, I think even Greg wouldn't have had the nerve to charge $30 for DVD-Rs. And Anonymous Number One, probably not. Though I would consider looking at one of the ripoff series, like Bone Chillers, which were the Cracked magazine to Goosebumps' Mad. MAY 19, 2008 2:09 AM

Zak said... THAT WAS MY COPY I UNDERLINED THAT IN BROWN CRAYON AND SOLD IT ON EBAY!! ...Nah, but it would have been pretty cool if someone who reads this blog remembers having done that. Anyway, Troy and first anon, just making sure you DO know that the "parody" books written by "R U Slime" were actually written by Stine himself? MAY 19, 2008 6:24 AM

troy steele said... Gooflumps were released by Random House and of course Goosebumps/Fear Street/&c; were released by Scholastic and later Scholastic/Parachute Press. Some rudimentary investigation shows both companies are not owned by the same larger blanket company. Scholastic allowing Stine to moonlight for a competitor seems very unlikely.

allhailpowerfuldog said... C'mon Troy... you told me "don't go to sleep" because I have to wait for your next update. Wow. That was really lame. MAY 26, 2008 12:05 AM

troy steele said... The next towering update won't be up 'til late Monday. MAY 26, 2008 12:13 AM

troy steele said... Every update on the front page right now was put up at the latest on Monday night. MAY 29, 2008 1:37 PM

troy steele said... Though my Terror Tower hint was genuine, at the last moment I switched to a different book. This decision ranked somewhere beneath getting a forehead tattoo on the Bad Idea Scale. MAY 31, 2008 1:02 AM
