I cannot put into words my dread at knowing I would need to eventually read this book. The cover and title are memorable and I remember thinking “ugh, so that’s Goosebumps now, eh?” as a kid.

I wasn’t stoked.

But then I read it and yeah, it’s just as dumb as you think it would be. A girl is slowly turning into a chicken after upsetting the neighborhood witch.

The only entertaining thing about it is that RL Stine has often been called a reader’s stepping stone (one place called him a training bra which is just hilarious) to Stephen King and I don’t think either party liked that. It’s very dismissive of Stine’s work and King had a character call Goosebumps dumb in “Fairy Tale.”

And THIS book is Stine actually taking a swing at being “inspired” by a King book and reworking it to be a Goosebumps book.

The King book? Thinner.

So does that make this fanfic? Or is there a better term? Perhaps a more nefarious term? Because as it stands right now it feels like parody more than anything else. If Mad Magazine took on Thinner, it would probably be this book.

So it’s entertaining to see Stine try to boil down a full-length novel about racism, classism, the justice system, and a failing marriage into a children’s book.

Obviously it’s not going to be a success but damn it, I enjoyed seeing him try.

When King’s Under the Dome came out, it really freaked me out. Not the story, but the fact that so many people lost their minds and followed a madman just because he had charisma. He was able to whip up a crowd and it led to horrible results that I could (now can) absolutely see happening. It freaked me out so badly I stopped reading King for a long time with the exception of Elevation.

Until I read this book and thought “Thinner was so much better than this. I should re-read that.”

So there are TWO good things about this book!

Nutidens thinner eller GHB är lustgas. Det är en större klimatbov än bilar utropar ETC i en rubrik. Vilket naturligtvis är trams. I alla fall om vi pratar om lustgas som berusningsmedel. Visserligen är kväveoxider (som lustgas är) kraftiga växthusgaser, betydligt potentare än koldioxid.

I wonder how many would want an #AppleWatch with more #battery instead of #thinner? Battery life is the top complaint I hear about them.

I'm very sad there doesn't appear to be a gif of the end scene from #Thinner available to discuss the new #AppleWatch. Also, I wonder if @marcoarment ordered his new watch before the actual sentence announcing it was even finished. The series 10 also comes in titan— *Marco hits the order button* 🙂 @atpfm

another one of my early favourites was the (much darker) "Fault 'n' Roll EP" by #Sectorchestra (aka Danny Kreutzfeldt)

it was on the #thinner netlabel, but apparently it got purged at some point, what a shame 😔.

it would be great if these mysteriously disappeared pieces of music find their way onto the Internet Archive. i bet someone still has them lying about on old disks. most netmusic is CC licensed anyway, so it should be fairly safe…
