Stine's return and he commented that he once wrote a book with an unhappy ending where the main character was accused of murder and arrested and the bad girl got away scot-free. It was an experiment, but people didn't like it, sending him letters like "Dear R.L. Stine, you idiot, aren't you going to write a sequel?" What book was this? MAY 05, 2008 4:17 PM

That was "The Best Friend" one of Stine's Fear Street books. I remember there being a contest to create a plot for the sequel, although I never ended up reading it. It's a shame Stine felt like he always had to have the villain get caught, although I do remember plenty of other Fear Street books without happy endings. It would be so cool if this blog branched out and did some Fear Street as well, but I'm not holding my breath. If so, please do "College Weekend"!! That was always one of my favorites.

troy steele said... I will not be covering regular Fear Street books, so your best bet is the aforementioned blog devoted to those books, for that and any other Teenage Murderers 4 Kids books. I will however be tackling the Ghosts of Fear Street series this summer in some capacity, as they're more in line with the age group under discussion in this blog. Also, if this and Shock Street didn't sate your appetite for amusement park stories, look for both installments of Stine's most shameless plug in a career built upon shameless plugs, the Beast, to also be featured on the blog this summer.

troy steele said... Tomorrow's entry is a good one, I tackled my favorite Goosebumps book as a child. That should narrow down your guesses at least. As to whether or not it lived up to my memory, well, that's what we in the biz (that's short for "business") call leaving the reader in suspense. MAY 11, 2008 10:32 AM

If you're actually looking for plausibility in a book series about monsters, witches, ghosts and evil dummies you should probably not read fiction. Ever. Cause watching you bash so many people's childhoods online is a serious waste of your's, mine, and everyone else's time. SEPTEMBER 29, 2015 8:45 PM
