4-6Goosebumps series.
This compact chiller links tales of a haunted mask and a possessed pumpkin patch into a single Halloween episode, striking a balance between true horror and lighter camp. There are no surprises in this dedicatedly formulaic series milestone, but the short chapters, nonstop cliffhangers, and wealth of red herrings make it an accessible and addictive read.
