Welcome to Fear Street.

Don’t listen to the stories they tell you about Fear Street. Wouldn’t you rather explore it yourself…and see if its dark terror and unexplained mysteries are true? You’re not afraid, are you?

Invitation to Terror

The invitation arrived in a black-bordered envelope. Inside, the card showed a coffin with the inscription “Reserved For You.” It was perfectly fitting for an all-night Halloween party on Fear Street. But Terry and his girlfriend Niki wondered why they had been invited. They barely knew Justine Cameron, the beautiful and mysterious transfer student who was throwing the party.

The party was well under way when the lights went out. That’s to be expected at a spooky Halloween party. But when the lights come back on, there was that boy on the floor with the knife in his back. Just a Halloween prank? Maybe. Maybe not.

For Terry and Niki the trick-or-treating has turned to terror. To their horror, they realize that someone at the costume party is dressed to kill!Welcome to Fear Street.

Don’t listen to the stories they tell you about Fear Street. Wouldn’t you rather explore it yourself…and see if its dark terror and unexplained mysteries are true? You’re not afraid, are you?

Yup, another super late review I am so sorry to post up the Halloween Party so late but I absolutely love R.L. Stine books when I was a kid I had to check out his book again. I am so glad I check Halloween Party back in October it really was an amazing and fantastic Halloween book, I really need to check out his other books. Because this book had full nostalgic memories for me, it was a perfect Halloween and Autumn read during the autumn season. Now I know everybody at least read one book by R.L. Stine and seen a ton of reviews about his books so I am not going to go into any details about this amazing book I will only say what I absolutely love about Halloween Party. Ok now I will tell you all the truth I am not a huge fan of the festive holiday of Halloween but I absolutely love reading anything thriller, mystery or horror books during the Halloween season plus I absolutely love watching horror films during Halloween as well. But I do enjoy somewhat the Halloween season I was kind of feeling nostalgic back in October so I wanted to read a book by an author I have already read from when I was a kid so I decided to check out Halloween Party from the library. I will tell you I don't remember which books that I read by R.L. Stine when I was a kid that was years and years ago I mean I do have a really good memory but not a great memory. But I do remember really enjoying the books that I read by R.L. Stine. So I was only too happy to refresh my memory again with Halloween Party that is a Fear Street novel as well and I was so glad and happy that I did because I absolutely loved and enjoyed this book so much! I absolutely loved everything in Halloween Party the plotline and aspect of the book were really well developed it was predictable but what  I really loved was the mystery and somewhat thrilling atmosphere the book was giving I couldn't put the books down. All the characters were really well rounded and developed and there were some diverse characters as well which I absolutely loved in this book because we really do need more diversity in books. The writing style flowed well on the pages and the dialogue was crisp and descriptive that you can understand the words. All and all I absolutely loved and enjoyed Halloween Party that I can't wait to continue reading more books by R.L. Stine hopefully soon!
