I was trying to find a top ten scary book but I couldn’t think of anything that I read that was super scary. Recently I read a few scary books but not enough to qualify for a top ten, then it hit me. When I was younger all I ever read was YA Scary books, classics from Christopher Pike and R.L.Stine so I hoped on Goodreads to reclaim what I have long forgotten. Wow did the memories come flooding back, now I’m not going to lie and say I remember what these books were 100% about and it’s to late for me to try to read them again, however there is a very strong possibility that I might do something in the future with these books since from the review they don’t seem to hold up as you get older but I am a different breed of reviewer and I tend to not take the age of books to heart and will try to channel my younger self if and when I do read them again.

Just looking at the covers made me remember standing in the book store every Saturday trying to find new scary book to read, I loved Christopher Pike and R.L.Stine the best were the Point Horror books (written by various authors) now I don’t remember them being called Point Horror but I honestly loved them. So from what little I remember of the scary books I read when I was younger I came up with this list and I might for sure try something soon to revisit Point Horror and Fear Street if I can find them.

  1. I might try these – since kid scary books probably aren’t that scary, right? I do remember RL Stine, but I think more because friends were reading him/her, not me. S/he does the Goosebumps books right? I think I was scared of them as a kid LOL – you’re not surprised though, right?

    • Not at all Lol. The Point Horror books were the best and RL Stine does write the Goosebump books, I would love to read all of them. Ryan would never read them so I figured maybe I should

    • I’m not sure how I forgot about them but they popped up on Goodreads on day and I spend a good hour looking at them and reading the synopsis to see what I read. Which on did you grab? Chain Letter was my favorite
