Mr. McCane
The title and the author’s name alone grabbed my attention. The author describes this book as “the everything bagel of horror” and promises “a twist ending that perfectly explains everything.” It has ghosts, werewolves, vampires, creepy dolls, and haunted Polaroid cameras. Everything you’d expect from the author of the Goosebumps series.
The story follows two siblings who move onto Nightmare Street, where all kinds of strange things start happening. It then shifts to another set of siblings experiencing similar events. The book is told in four parts, with chapters alternating between the two sets of siblings.
My issues: I really disliked the ending, and the pacing bothered me a bit. I just didn’t understand the overall point of the book. However, if you haven’t read a Goosebumps book in a while or you’re a fan of R. L. Stine, you may enjoy it more than I did. I can’t wait to try this out on my future grandchildren.
I’d recommend this more for middle-grade readers or anyone looking for a light, spooky read.
