I'm fundraising for the Farley Foundation!
I'm fundraising for Farley Month to help one of the veterinary clinics in my area!

Guest blog: The King of Goosebumps shares his top 5 Goosebumps books to get you in the Halloween spirit
My passion for Goosebumps books started in 1999 at the age of 7 when I got my first book called The Haunted Car. It was a big thing for mum and me growing up. My primary school didn't have the books in the library at the time I was there as they were too scary... pffft. So it became a weekly thing for mum and I, to go to our local store and buy each book until I had them all. My bedroom became every 90s' kid's dream Goosebumps themed room.

When I think about Halloween symbolism, things that come to mind are spirits, monsters, witches, and vampires. But what about the animals? Black cats with their backs arched, howling werewolves, slick Ravens crowing warnings, and swooping bats are all signature Halloween animals. Folklore and mythology weave their way into the spooky stories we tell and animals are the stars of these terrifying tales.
