Goosebumps #10
Το φάντασμα της διπλανής πόρτας
Η γειτονιά της Χάννα άρχισε να γίνεται παράξενη. Ένα καινούριο αγόρι είχε μετακομίσει στο διπλανό σπίτι.
Όμως, πότε μετακόμισε; Το σπίτι ήταν άδειο όταν η Χάννα πήγε να κοιμηθεί το προηγούμενο βράδυ, έτσι δεν είναι; Και γιατί το σπίτι εξακολουθεί να δείχνει τόσο έρημο;
Ο καινούριος της γείτονας δεν της δίνει καμία απάντηση στις απορίες της. Διαρκώς εξαφανίζεται με πολύ παράξενο τρόπο. Κι είναι τόσο χλωμός...
Μήπως τη Χάννα την καταδιώκει...
...το φάντασμα της διπλανής πόρτας;;;
Παιδιά, προσοχή - σας περιμένει μεγάλη ταραχή!

¡Hoy les traigo otra reseña de la siempre recomendable colección de Pesadillas!
👻👻👻👻👻
Leer a Stine y volver a ser esos pequeños llenos de miedos que miran debajo de la cama antes de acostarse siempre es un placer.
Un terrorífico placer.
Y qué mejor momento para volver a esa época que retomando esta colección con nuestra mayor, la mejor compañía 🖤🖤
Han sido muchas noches arrebujadas bajo una manta con la única compañía de una luz muy tenue para crear un buen ambiente, algo primordial en este tipo de historias.
Todo comienza cuando Hannah, en una de sus incursiones matutinas para matar el aburrimiento de esos calurosos días de verano, se percata de la presencia de Danny, el nuevo vecino. Todo en él desprende un aura enigmática, casi fantasmal, además de sus continuas apariciones y desapariciones repentinas, está el inusual hecho de la extraña sombra que la acecha cuando menos lo espera y susurra su nombre como si de un crujido de hojas secas se tratara:
"Hannahhh...", "Hannahhh..." 😨😨
¿Quién es esa sombra y qué quiere de ella?
Por si esto fuera poco también está muy presente el mundo onírico, esos sueños que se le presentan a Hannah en lo que todo parece tan real...
No puedo decir más, son libros cortos, con pocos personajes y que van directos al grano. Creando rápidamente esa espesa bruma de terror que todo lo impregna.
Aunque en esta ocasión el giro final puede parecer previsible para una mente adulta, me pongo en el lugar de cualquier joven lector y me parece una lectura muy sorprendente, con su buena dosis de sustos y hasta su parte emotiva.
Si les gusta un terror más light y son seguidores del autor no duden en hacerse con la colección, es de las mejores inversiones que he hecho 🤩

#10 "There's a strange new kid on the block...."
Hannah's new friend Danny is very peculiar. He falls from the roof and lands on his feet. He disappears Into thin air it seems. And the house he says he lives in is dark and empty. Almost as if a ghost were living there... I loved it!

Well, THAT was interesting. No, I'm serious, I enjoyed it.
Hannah is a 12-year-old girl living with her family in a small town. It's summer and she's bored. Her two younger twin brothers, age 6, are wild and crazy and take up all her parents' time and attention. She must find ways to amuse herself in the long, hot, summer months.
Ever hear the phrase, "Idle hands are the devil's workshop?"
Hannah meets the boy next door, a 12-year-old named Danny with red hair and freckles. He's moved into the old Dodson house. That's strange - it's sat empty for years. And Hannah never saw any moving van or people inside the house. Danny claims he's in her grade at her school, but she doesn't know him or any of his friends.
Nevertheless, she becomes friends with Danny.
Unfortunately, Danny hangs out with a bad crowd. His "friends" Alan and Fred are always daring him to do things and encouraging him to steal and pull pranks. Hannah often spies on the boys and spies on Danny and his activities - ostensibly because she suspects he might be a ghost, but I think she has a tiny crush on him - and sees how the boys treat him and goad him into criminal behavior.
To add onto all of this, there is a shadowy dark phantom with glowing red eyes that keeps following her around and warning her to stay away from Danny. No one can see it but her. Who is it? What does it want?
...
In a shocking surprise twist, we realize that
The weirder part, and the part that didn't really gel with me was This was not well-explained and didn't make much sense to me. I think it could have been eliminated without the book losing anything.
...
All in all, I enjoyed this book. I didn't see the twists coming and I liked the ride Stine took me on. Say what you want about his writing (it is simple and sometimes ridiculous) but his plots and basic concepts are wonderful, fresh, and creative. I still maintain that someone should go through and re-write each of these books for adults. It would be so cool! :)

3.5 Spectral Stars, not sure whether to round up to 4 stars or down to 3 stars...what do you think?
Please let me know in the comments below, thanks!
Hannah awakens in a sweat from a fiery nightmare. Relieved that it was just a bad dream she bounds down the stairs to join her family in the kitchen where juice and scrambled eggs are being served all around. Twelve year old Hannah Fairchild is home, with her parents and younger twin brothers, for summer vacation. All her friends are either at camp or elsewhere away for the summer. She's feeling abandoned and lonely, until she is knocked head over keister by a boy on his bike.....Danny, her "new" neighbor...
Not the most clever, twisty, insightful, or thought provoking of the Goosebumps tales, but a delightfully deceptive adventure in the spirit of the season 👻🎃🧹🦇.
When I discovered this scary Scholastic series I was loooong past the age of the target audience. Originally read them to/with my neice and nephew when they were members of the target audience (now in their early 30's) and still my inner child delights in reading a few installments around this time every year.
Happy Halloween to you and may you find some sort of delight in whatever spine-chilling reads you choose to engage 🧚♀️🙋🏼.

TW: Fire
If I had known how big that TW would be, I might not have read it. That would've been a shame but I was in a house fire years ago. My neighbor saved me. Lost everything owned and some kittens. PTSD is an ass.
I guess I forgot about the initial scene or I might've saw it coming. I DID see some of the twist coming, that was very predictable, but there was still more to it. This is so well written and plotted. Depth to the characters. Foreshadowing. Emotion.
I'm disabled (always have been) and there is some talk of disability (not a major part) in it and having been in a house fire, these 2 things make it mean a lot when I say this book gets all the stars from me. I've hated books because of how they dealt with disability or characters that were just in a traumatic fire situation. I loved this book.
Before today I (think I) could say i've never cried at a Goosebumps book before. I can't say that anymore. That ending had me sobbing.

This book actually made me cry! I was so surprised by how good it was, especially comparing it to most of R.L.Stines other books. I'm not into the horror genre, but I read a lot of his books anyway when I was younger. This was one of the few I actuallly liked. It had a lot of mystery and intrigue along with some lighthearted and scary parts. The ending was really surprising and sad. (That's when I cried. :( I liked how it didn't end on a really annoying cliffhanger like most of his books seem to do. It did end with a slightly unanswered question though. I even liked how Hannah and Danny interacted with eachother. Overall, it was a really enjoyable and good book! Definitely worth reading! :)

This was a good time. Had a great twist I didn’t see coming. Would recommend.

I had read this book in my school days, and now thinking I hadn't read it before, I picked it up again. Nevertheless it was a simple fun read. I had always loved Goosebumps.
Hannah is feeling lonely during her summer holidays. All her friends have gone to camp and haven't written letters to her at all. One day she befriends Danny who says he is staying next door. But that house has been empty and no one has moved in. Danny goes to the same school as Hannah and he is in the same grade as her. But they don't know each other! Who is Danny and what is that strange dark figure with red eyes that follows Hannah sometimes?
This is probably the only GBs which has a positive ending and I liked it very much!

I try to express only my most honest opinion in a spoiler-free way. Unfortunately, there is still always a risk of slight spoilers despite my best efforts. If you feel something in my review is a spoiler please let me know. Thank you.
It wasn't bad. Not creepy but sweet and kinda sad. My daughter seemed to have a hard time paying attention to this one. And I saw the 'big plot twist' coming a mile away. But it was a fun read to do with my daughter.

Hanna es una niña alegre y activa, quien descubre que hay un nuevo vecino, Danny..y ademas esta niña tiene casi una certeza
Luego de tener un sueño, Hanna comienza a descubrir cosas raras en su vecindario. Hay una sombra, misterio..cosas muy extrañas.
El plot twist del final esta muyy bueno, puedo imaginar un niño leyendo esto y realmente sorprendiendose.

Of all of the R.L.Stine books that I read, this one was my favorite. I still read it now and again. I won't give anything away- how wrong would that be?- but if I could, I would give this book to everyone- for adults it would only take about 3 hours to read. for kids- maybe 2 days (can you sit still? NO!) But it's my most cherished of his books- and I'll never stop loving it. :)

OKAY THIS IS THE WORST STINE BOOK EVER!!! Now I love Stine's fear street novels and so I thought why not give goosebumps a try and they stunk. IT SEEMED AS IF THEY WERE WRITTEN FOR KIDS!!!

This one is going to stick with me. This is a new personal favorite.

Twists like this always get me

2.5 stars.
Hannah and her family are enjoying the summer holidays. The only problem is that Hannah is really bored. Her friend at camp isn't answering her letters, and there's nothing to do in her little town. So when new neighbour Danny shows up one day, Hannah is excited to make a new friend. Except it doesn't seem like anyone else can see Danny, and he seems to be able to do some really weird things. Is Danny.....a ghost?
This has the most obvious plot, yet ironically has been the best Goosebumps I've read so far. Most of the story has a plot that kind of follows a distinct timeline (I'm overlooking the weird shadow aspect. In fact, I'm erasing it from memory because the story is so much better without it and it doesn't need it). If we could also cut out the stupid dreams (I swear to God, if one more character has a pointless dream in these books I'm going to scream) this is almost ok.
Not bad (when compared to other Goosebumps books).

Rating: 4.5
No Goosebumps will reach 5 stars. 5 stars is reserved for an absolute wow, I'll never stop talking about, kinda book. So, consider my 4.5 rated Goosebumps as 5 star for the middle grade horror/Goosebumps genre.
R.L. Stine's writing has noticeably improved the further along we go into Goosebumps, which I'm thankful for. Note: For middle grade easy to read writing.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book, but I can't really say too much about it without giving anything away. I will say that, unlike the tried and true formula of hitting us with a twist right at the end, this one hits us with the twist early on and then continues on with the story. It was very obvious what the twist was going to be, but I didn't hate it for that. It made me excited to see it happen when it did.

A strong standout in the series with a more mature and emotional punch.
The opening of Hannah's dream is harrowing enough!
One aspect that Stine captures so well is the loneliness of a long summer holidays back in the 90's.
With all of Hannah's friends at camp and not responding to her letters just shows how limited communication was back then as a kid.
All the best Goosebumps books have a nice twist ending and whilst Stine cleverly plots little clues throughout, it certainly effective here.

I honestly believe this is one of the best goosebumps books in the series, and might even be my personal favorite. The plot is very basic, there's nothing super creative or unique here, but what it does, it does very well. R.L. Stine presents to us a very dark, mature story for a goosebumps book, which is one of the things I love about it. It's not afraid to touch on the subject of death, and not afraid to get emotional either. This story is definitely sad, but it has an awesome twist ending, one of the best endings of any goosebumps book, ever.
Even though the plot is pretty basic, as I mentioned, and not entirely unpredictable, there is definitely a surprise / reveal at the end that would be pretty difficult for anyone to see coming. This book in the series is very serious compared to other entries. It lacks a lot of the humor and witty dialogue often found in the other books, which further contributes to the heavy mood and atmosphere of this one.
Five out of five stars.

Wow! This book was crazy!!
September 17, 2024
I'm shocked at the high rating on this one. I had the exact same issues with this as Welcome to Camp Nightmare - the ending basically being spoiled by a "cleverly"-worded sentence early on that serves as a dead giveaway. This one is definitely darker than some of the others in the 'OG-62' Goosebumps series, so that's a positive aspect. This also plays on other emotions rather than just spooky ghost fear stuff, but I don't really know how I feel about this one overall. I really didn't like the lead character, or any of the characters for that matter. I'll give this a 2/5 simply because I didn't like this very much and I felt like a clown reading the whole thing after knowing the ending by page 12.

The Ghost Next Door is the 10th book in the Goosebumps series. It is a little fun, a tad creepy, with a little mystery and action. Loved it.
I am re-reading this series for nostalgic reasons.
The Goosebumps series was a staple in our house. My kids absolutely loved them, and to say I read these books with them once is an understatement. We read them many times as each of my three kids became old enough to read them. They still have them and are getting to read them with their kids.

Ό,τι έχω γράψει για τα προηγούμενα βιβλία της σ��ιράς που διάβασα μέσα στην χρονιά, τα ίδια ισχύουν και για το συγκεκριμένο. Ευχάριστο και ψυχαγωγικό ανάγνωσμα, ακόμα και τώρα που είμαι κοτζάμ μαντράχαλος. Και δεν το συζητώ, αν έχετε παιδιά και θέλετε να έρθουν σε επαφή με το είδος της φαντασίας και του τρόμου, με αυτά τα βιβλιαράκια θα κάνουν ιδανική αρχή. Ουσιαστικά έτσι ξεκίνησα κι εγώ. Τα τρία αστεράκια που βάζω σε όλα τώρα δεν σημαίνουν κάτι, απλώς δεν θέλω να αδικώ άλλα βιβλία. Αν ήμουν δέκα χρονών θα τους έβαζα τέσσερα και πέντε αστεράκια...

It was a nice middle grade book and I don't know if it's just because I'm older than the intended market but the ending was so obvious I knew it was going to happen from the beginning but I think maybe for younger readers it wouldn't be as obvious..
