A Horror Classic is Goosebumps 2000 at its best

R.L.Stine shines in what is perhaps one of the best Goosebumps books ever written. From the beginning, this chilling take-off from the classic Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde storyline is mature, scary, and psychological. Heidi is an orphan who is sent to live with her mysterious uncle and unfriendly cousin in a creepy mansion at the peak of a small town. This setting provides for a captivating and sensitive horror story that succeeds in enrapturing the reader with fear and intrigue. Stine develops page-turning mystery to solve the case of the dark creature who terrorizes the town, a creature whom may ver well be living in Heidi's new home. This creepy tale is goosebump-inducing greatness.
