my favorite one of the series... i used to try and write scary stories in 5th grade... I still have some of them and they are not very scary at all looking back... which might explain why I am a scientist and not a writer...

Monster Blood seems like an underrated book in the series on Goodreads. Complaining that the 12-year-old dog jumps around... really? The concept here is fun. And Stine introduced a female side character who is a lot of fun. Some of her lines are witty for middle grade fiction. Stine's time as a joke book writer seems to shine through here. The ending is a lot of fun.
I've seen people say it comes out of nowhere. They must lack reading comprehension. It's built to in the early pages of the book. My second favorite from what I read yesterday. If I had any complaint, then it would be the bully characters. They don't add a lot. If anything, they distract from focus of the plot.

Not as good as haunted mask but made me realise R.L stine follows a pretty standard formula with writing :
1) a character with the name “something-Beth”
2) bullying
3) the purchase of a weird item from a store with a weird merchant .

I don’t get why people dislike the MB titles. This one is a lot of fun with some nice little twists
