I found this last year on the back shelves. Must of had this since a child.

The book contains 3 stories.

Chicken, Chicken, Don't Go To Sleep, The Blob Ate Everyone.

Whilst it was a casual read as a child. I would of enjoyed it more as a child. Goosebumps books are Stephen King fans in training.

I didn't really like these stories. Although I do like to read some books that are for a younger audience, this is the book that was hard for me to pick up again since to be honest, I found the stories were a bit ridiculous and not for me. Also because I've read so many adult horror books, films and TV shows that when I go to read some of the books that are for a younger audience, I just can't read them. But I would recommend this to anyone who has kids because I think this book is suited to more of a younger audience.
