But these new friends are not exactly what their parents had in mind. And the town of Dark Falls is pretty strange, too. StineĪmanda and Josh think the old house they have just moved into is weird. Welcome to Dead House (Goosebumps #1), R.L. Soon enough Amanda starting to notice here and there, strange happenings.īut, don’t be so harsh on them! As I say, if they wouldn’t decided to live in that creepy house, we wouldn’t have this book to read. So, everybody packin’ folks! Since Dark Falls, here we go! Of course, the house is on Dark Falls, and you can bet that the dang house has two Windows at front just like the Amityville House!!!
They got a letter explaining that certain distant relative (that they never heard before (aaaha!) died and he left them his old house as inheritance. Meet The Benson Family: Dad, Mom, Amanda (the main character) (12 years old) and Josh (11 years old) along with their dog Petey (I guess they were huge fans of The Little Rascals). …hey! If our heroes wouldn’t go there, we wouldn’t have a story to read, right?
You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to know that any town named “Dark Falls” isn’t a good place to go to live, but… It was a book quick to read and I enjoyed a lot, it’s not something that it will give you nightmares but certainly it will give you…Īnd at the end, that’s the whole purpose of this series. I found ingenious that the main character (and narrator of the story) is a teenage girl, due this is the first book of a series (that eventually became so popular and bestseller) having young audience as main targets, so the boys will pick the book since it’s terror, and the girls will pick the book since a girl is the main characters (without messing the topic with clichés of “women read romance”, “men read terror”, since I know for sure that it’s not the case) but as a business decision for a key first book in a series in this kind of genre and target audiences, I thought that it was well chosen. Lovecraft, but I am glad to say that the book is quite well written, with an engaging narrative and a kinda of “cliffhanger” or “shocking last line” on each chapter making you to keep reading. Obviously I wasn’t expecting a scary bloody tale, since this is Goosebumps, not H.P. This is the first book of the original book series of “Goosebumps”
