This graphic novel anthology features three terrifying adaptations of classic Goosebumps novels! Experience three of Goosebumps' creepiest creatures like you've never seen them before.

The Werewolf of Fever Swamp adapted and illustrated by Gabriel Hernandez

There is something weird happening in Fever Swamp. It started with the strange howling at night. Then there was the rabbit, torn to shreds. Everyone thinks Grady's new dog is responsible. After all, he looks just like a wolf. But Grady knows his dog is just a regular old dog. And most dogs don't howl at the moon. Or disappear at midnight. Or change into terrifying creatures when the moon is full. Or do they?

The Scarecrow Walks at Midnight adapted and illustrated by Greg Ruth

Jodie loves visiting her grandparents' farm. Okay, so it's not the most exciting place in the world. Still, Grandpa tells great scary stories. But this summer the farm has really changed. The cornfields are sparse. And the single scarecrow has been replaced by twelve evil-looking ones. Then one night Jodie sees something really odd. The scarecrows seem to be moving. Coming alive . . .

The Abominable Snowman of Pasadena adapted and illustrated by Scott Morse

Jordan Blake and his sister, Nicole, are sick of the hot weather in Pasadena, California. Just once they'd like to have a real winter with real snow. And then it happens. The Blakes are taking a trip to Alaska! Mr. Blake has been asked to photograph a mysterious snow creature there. Poor Jordan and Nicole. They just wanted to see snow. But now they're being chased by a monstrous creature. A big furry-faced creature known as the Abominable Snowman!

      Gr 5 Up-These selections from the Goosebumps series have been abridged and put in a graphic-novel format, and the fast pace and horror elements make them perfect for this format. The black-and-white illustrations for each one are very different but fit each story well. In The Werewolf of Fever Swamp, the artwork bristles much like the hackles on a werewolfs neck. The smooth, realistic style of The Scarecrow Walks at Midnight makes the scarecrow chilling and haunting. The bolder, cartoon style of The Abominable Snowman of Pasadena perfectly fits this more humorous tale. This is a great option for younger readers interested in graphic novels, and the nostalgia is there for the older set."Melissa T. Jenvey, New York Public Library"

      The first volume in the new Goosebumps Graphix series, adapted from the Goosebumps books by R. L. Stine, offers three of Stine's stories, each one illustrated in black and white. Hernandez uses sketchy but expressive art to convey the spooky atmosphere of "The Werewolf of Fever Swamp," in which Grady investigates what is haunting the swamp where his parents have relocated the family. The "gotcha" ending of the tale is particularly well done. Greg Ruth's detailed pencil artwork ably depicts the old farm in "The Scarecrow Walks at Midnight." And Scott Morse brings his unique, scratchy art style to "The Abominable Snowman of Pasadena," in which a scientist and his two kids bring a strange creature back from the Arctic. The lightweight horror stories of the Goosebumps series lend themselves well to visual adaptation, and the well-known, independent comics creators showcased in this collection have an opportunity to introduce their talents to a new, young audience. The original stories have been popular for years, and this graphic-novel format is sure to attract its own following.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2006, American Library Association.)

      Three early Goosebumps titles--[cf2]The Werewolf of Fever Swamp[cf1], [cf2]The Scarecrow Walks at Midnight[cf1], and [cf2]The Abominable Snowman of Pasadena[cf1]--are revived as graphic novellas, their economic plots enhanced by the illustrations' textured backgrounds and irregular paneling. The undemanding stories still lack character development, but their twist endings and well-executed graphic revival may attract new readers.
