Especially when they...meet...some of the plants he is growing down there. Then they notice that their father is developing plant like tendencies. In fact, he is becoming distinctly weedy-and seedy.

My daughters and I recently read Goosebumps #1. Where that book was written in classic ghost story style, Stay Out of the Basement was much more modern. Where the first book had many gothic elements, this one was more typical of today's off beat horror works. The first book had a creepy feel the entire way through the book while number two just felt weird.One thing the books did have in common was a cliffhanger ending. Stine obviously uses this technique purposely. In the first book it felt veryThis is the first book I ever remember reading. I mean, I'm sure that my parents and grandparents read me stories as a yute, but the Goosebumps series is one I can remember choosing to read; this nuance is important.My copy of Stay Out of the Basement is with the original cover, a green very detailed hand coming out of the basement. This is the original edition from 1992, from when I was 10 years old. I have to say, the nostalgia of holding the same book I read almost 20 years ago is a high
Sooooo... Book two. I liked this story quite a bit more than the series opening book. It had some issues, but on the whole, it was a better story and made a hell of a lot more sense than Welcome to Dead House. The premise here is that the family moved to Cali for Dad to take a job in a science lab... but then his experiments started getting a little... strange and dangerous, and so he was let go. But he didn't care, he just kept up the work -- IN THE BASEMENT THAT EVERYONE SHOULD STAY OUT OF!
I loved this one.Although, these cliffhanger endings are really frustrating, seeing as most of the books in this series are standalone, and I want to know what happens next, Damn you!
Update 9/3/18! Here's my full review: http://www.bookishrealmreviews.com/20...3.5 stars (I read this for Booktubeathon 2018) This was one of the more creepy books in the series for me because it literally made my skin crawl haha. I was not expecting to be so grossed out by the plot, but the idea of a human turning into a plant really really threw me for a loop. I listened to this on audiobook and rather enjoyed the narrator. If you haven't picked up the Goosebumps series I would definitely
Margaret's father may be a botanist, but what he's doing in the basement suggests he may be a mad scientist. A tall, treelike plant sighed and appeared to bend toward them, raising its tendrils as if beckoning to them, calling them back. This book is undeniably kitschy, and then - BOOM! - the author drops some serious science into the mix: DNA, genome mapping, reproductive isolation, genetic modification and transgenics. These topics are explored in simpler terms, but they're nonetheless
This was a jittery one.Even for the brave hearted.Two common children, siblings, are happy that their dad is doing plant research in their basement.The research is all harmless, says the blurb. Nothing to worry about.Believe me that's a white lie.Whatever happens you should not go venturing into the basement. There's where strange things reside.The curiosities of the children gets peeked up on seeing their dad exhibit traits of plants. Is he a freak botanist? Do they go and find out the truth in
