The Barton siblings, 14 year old Jessie, 13 year old Josh, and 9 year old Jamie, were stuck in Coalville late at night with Josh’s loser best friend Skate Palmer. Unfortunately, due to the size and spine of the book I’m unable to make scans without doing serious damage. The book came with some illustrations by Tim Jacobus. I prefer the second story out of the bunch. The first and third stories are weird, the first coming across like a rehash of “Stay Out of the Basement” and the third some prototype for the “Goosebumps Horrorland” series. There are four stories in this book, a wraparound tale and three short stories that feature the same cast of characters. I think it originally belonged to my sibling back in elementary school, but like so much of their shit, it ended up in my possession because they stopped caring about it. Hell, I’m not even sure how I got this book. I’ve never seen a performance, and I don’t know how long the show ran. In the late 90s there was briefly a Goosebumps stage show, though I was barely aware of this since I was like 8 or 9 at the time. Time for another long lost Goosebumps treasure, though this one’s slightly better known than “Haunted Library” and “Surprise on the 13th Floor.” Stine (Based on stage play by Rupert Holmes) Title: Goosebumps Live On Stage – Screams In The Night, a.k.a.
