This entry marks a momentous occasion. I have officially finished going through all of the original 62 Goosebumps books! (And NO, I am not reading the spin-off series). Oh, I read some other stuff too like a collection of feminist sci-fi, an influential crime novel from the 18th century, a quirky modern day ghost story…
Ben Reads the Horror Classics: The Wine-Dark Damned Baby
I’m back again after a break for Thanksgiving and to give our annual gift guide some time to breathe!

Ben Reads The Horror Classics: Lovecraft, His Spawn and Dark Fantasy Joyrides
This one’s got a big mammajamma entry in it. That’s right… I consumed the COMPLETE LOVECRAFT FICTION. Check it out below.
