    Strange Matter - Driven to Death

    Strange Matter - Driven to Death

    Let's venture into new territory--that of an anthology series to rival Goosebumps: Strange Matter! This one is about phantom greasers who drive through walls, up buildings, and over oceans in a bid to recruit fresh victims for--what, exactly? Well, telling you would spoil the twist, wouldn't it?

    Short and Shivery

    Get It Fright This Time!

    On a second excursion into the realm of the trilogies-of-teeny-tiny-terror known as Fright Time, Eric welcomes a new guest into the treehouse--his girlfriend! Take that, everyone who says I'm patently unlovable. Adana fills in for the pretending-to-be-busy-to-get-out-of-work Jose and gives her thoughts on Creatures from the Ice, Dead-End Drive-In, and Strange Exchange. We'll either have to bring her back on the show someday or else kill her now that she knows where the treehouse is located....

Anyway, Eric doesn't remember that (although the dollar store may be where he picked up Gooflumps) but Jose had rollicking fun reading entries in the Fright Time series whenever he got a break from all those child beauty pageants his mom was always entering him into. Three spine-tingling stories for the price of two! Jose deep-dives into book #1 while Eric wades into the shallow pool with book #4.
