The one where they're in school and get sucked into this other-wordly room full of kids in black and white, and all the color fades from their body, so their only escape is the girl's lipstick which is still red because it was closed.

It was /lit/ was fuck.

I remember this being quite a pomo book, but I can't recall why or the exact plot of it.

I do remember >>9119076 though, it was The Haunted School

>> No.9119115

>>9119108

The kid wrote a story that came to life and was trying to write a better end that didn't involve everybody dying, and then he realized he had the power inside him all along and saves the day.

And then it turns out that the whole thing was actually being written by a blob in another dimension, who decides it'd be better if the blob ate everybody after all.

The most disturbing Goosebumps book for me was probably Chicken Chicken, but that comes nowhere near R. L. Stine's magnum opus, the short story "I'm Not Marvin"

Stine also made a surprisingly patrician book of some of his favorite horror stories called "Beware"

why do ppl on 4chan boards associated with the arts always circlejerk over shitty low forms of the art and pretend its the greatest thing ever?

is this some sick twisted form of contrarianism?

Short answer, yes. But mainly I think it's the nostalgia factor involved as my elementary school library was rife with these books and it was pretty much the first time in my life that I could really discuss books with my friends as they had read them too. Later on, everyone moved away from novels or stayed with the same juvenile YA authors they had been reading for years.
