Whilst I wasn’t big on Carolyn Crimi’s other entry for this series titled “Three Evil Wishes,” I was pleasantly surprised with this extremely bizarre entry. Of all comparisons, there’s some stuff that goes down here that reminds me a LOT of a certain medieval Goosebumps story. Kicking off my positives, there’s some nice, playful stuff in this one; there’s a good 15 or so pages here that are spent with the kids having fun. And it’s not even filler, and in fact, it’s a bunch of payback. It’s refreshing and delightful. There’s also the fact of recurring characters—the Burger Brothers. They were in Crimi’s other story for GoFS, so it was cool for them to make a return. We don’t ever see that, especially in a series like this with so many different authors. The book is quite fun, there’s some neater spooky elements here, and some great payoff… oh, and there’s the final third I neglected to mention. The story takes a turn and it’s not only really drastic, but it’s a great segment involving… well, you’ll have to read it to find out. Let’s just say we finally go to our tomb—right then (fuck my corny ahh). And my biggest upside here is the ending: Terror Tower/Matrix flashbacks. Whilst not perfect, it’s a great sendoff to the story with a surprisingly dark twist on everything. It’s great, but again, not perfect. My biggest gripe her is the lack of foreshadowing. A twist of that kind is great but could’ve been perfect—like how Terror Tower did it (spoiler I guess?)—if it were built up, or even hinted at for that matter. It came out of left field, which bothered me. There’s also some minor nitpicks here, which kinda add up, like the first fifth being rather dull, or the (almost) wasted twenty pages—of which were good, but again, pointless (almost). But other than that, Carolyn—fuck you for your fetish scene in TEW, but I respect your fabulous entry here *salutes*. Overall, 9/10. A great read with a banger Mark Garro cover art. That title is so buns though lol.

This book was really good the first 3/4 and that’s why it’s 3 stars and not 2.. When jack went through the first door in the underground tunnels with the giant gold roaches is when it kinda lost me. It was pretty creepy and weird just very unrealistic even for kids horror and how the next door was an even bigger golden fly (bigger than an elephant) and how his lucky ring turned him to a giant spider and he killed it and it shrunk and he brought it back to launa… I really liked it up til that part. And the twist made absolutely no sense, it’s like the person who wrote this (not stine…) read terror tower and let’s get invisible once and wrote this… the rats in the underground tunnel?… the being invisible and playing tricks?… hell even the time travel and forgetting your past life… come on. No originality at all. The story was good and made sense and it literally feels like the author just took acid and finished the book 3/4 in. Even the main characters name was “Jacobus” which is the last name of the goosebumps illustrator… we get it you’ve read goosebumps… be original and write better.

🇬🇧 English version:

It delivers what it promises: a fast-paced and entertaining YA horror novel. Divided into five arcs, the story does lose a bit of momentum near the end — but the final three chapters pull off a twist that honestly caught me off guard and gave it a strong finish.
Not Stine’s most memorable book, but it nails that spooky, campy vibe I was craving.
Finished it in about three hours. Great pick for a nostalgic afternoon where you just want to disappear into something eerie and fun.

⸻

🇪🇸 Versión en español:

Cumple con lo que promete: una novela de terror juvenil ágil y entretenida. Está dividida en cinco arcos, y aunque pierde algo de fuerza hacia el final, los últimos tres capítulos sorprenden con un giro que no me vi venir y que la levanta bastante.
No es de lo más inolvidable de Stine, pero logra ese tono entre tenebroso y exagerado que tenía muchas ganas de volver a leer.
La terminé en unas tres horitas. Ideal para una tarde nostálgica con ganas de desaparecer en algo misterioso y divertido.

Nooo, this is not good, this is a trash book, it's just silly filler and then near the end a bunch of twists and hard turns on the tone. Plot holes and nonsensical, just left me feeling annoyed. A couple stars for: 1) the cover, and 2) limited enjoyable creepy cemetery atmosphere moments.
