A fairly solid Goosebumps book. Out of the camp books, if Camp Nightmare and Camp Cold Lake are the best and Camp Jellyjam is the worst, then Camp Spirit Moon is somewhere in the middle. The book seemed a little sparse on actual plot and relied more on generating a creepy atmosphere, which I appreciated.
SpoilerThough the ending felt like a cop-out.

This is the second scariest Goodbumps in the classic series (A Night in Terror Tower #27 being the first scariest). Many children dream of summer camp. Not many of them dream of leaving it. How long will summer last for Henry and Alex? Read and find out.

Great ghost story! This one had many of the unnerving spooky factors that most Goosebumps late in the series seems to be missing. This one was truly unnerving in a lot of aspects.

Where this fell short was, once more, the ending. Stine seemed to be in a "stop the story before an actual resolution" kick when he got to this section of the Goosebumps series.

His endings worked well when they were alluding to further impending doom - this felt like it left off right before the next chapter.

Another really fun Goosebumps book! So far this is 3/3 on enjoying the stories set at summer camps. Great story full of curious and questioning protagonist and some pretty good scares and twists. Overall, a lot of fun.

As I work on collecting physical copies of all 62 Goosebumps, I will also be reading them. It's very comforting and nostalgic for me. I really believe Stine bringing the horror genre into the lives of 90s babies was very culturally significant, and I will be rating each one five stars regardless.


The camp themed ones are my favorite. For me, summer is a better time for horror than October is.

It was pretty decent, honestly. I think the story was fun to follow and a little spooky.

Devo dire che anche questo volumetto, a suo tempo, mi trasmise non poco inquietudine.
Notevole l'accrescimento del climax narrativo, puntualmente concluso con un bad ending di quelli bastardi.
