Great middle grade horror

This is a great middle grade horror book. Very well written, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Nostalgic and fun!

I grew up on Goosebumps books - they creeped me out, entertained me, and started my love for the horror genre. Reading this gave me SO much nostalgia!

Carson and his friends and family are super excited for a new horror themed store, Scareville, to have it's grand opening. But something seems off about the store's owner Mr. Enstrom... What could it be?

The narrator did a really good job. His performance was spot on for the overall feel of the book.

I really enjoyed this quick, fun read. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the series and introducing my 10 year old to it!

great story!!

can't wait to find out what happens next! if you enjoyed Goosebumps as a kid you'll enjoy this story!

Something Strange in the neighborhood

This was a delightful read that young and old readers will enjoy. It has the vibe of Needful Things for the younger generation. I feel by grandsons would really enjoy this book. My son might enjoy it too as it brings him a nostalgic feel of his younger years.
