Give Yourself Goosebumps

Give Yourself Goosebumps is a children's horror fiction gamebook series by R. L. Stine.

After the success of the original Goosebumps books, Scholastic Press decided to create this spin-off series in 1995.

There is also at least one page in each book that uses an alternative method to selecting each choice, and is done more by chance rather than the reader's decision.

The only thing linking the main character in each story is that they are self-proclaimed "Goosebumps Experts".

These vary depending on which book is being read, but largely the endings involve the reader's character dying, permanently metamorphosing into something other than human, getting trapped somewhere inescapable (implying that one will die eventually), being put in a state of immobility such as becoming a statue, or - if the correct choices are met - surviving the story.

[2] Mark Nagata illustrated the next book, Tick Tock, You're Dead!, throughout number 24, Lost in Stinkeye Swamp.

Endings include falling into quicksand, being eaten by crocodiles, being labeled as a "Couch Potato" in a zoo and exploding in space.

The reader prepares for a fun filled vacation at WoodsWorld until rumors around the Kids Only Campfire reveal that the place is full of werewolves.

Werewolves are not the only horrific element to the book as some endings involve trolls and metamorphoses into inanimate objects.

The 2 main storylines result from the decision to either play Arctic Adventure or Adrift off Vega.

The reader and his or her friend Julie try to prove that Reggie is lying by going to the department store at midnight and spending an hour there.
