This will always be an absolute classic for me. My first ever favourite book of all time and my first introduction to zombies which continue to scare the living shit out of me to this day. I vividly remembered so many parts and actually got a little emotional at seeing where I’d subconsciously carried some scenes in my heart. For example, I’ve always dreamed of having a bay window seat but never really thought about where that dream had come from (if it had even come from anywhere in particular). Reading this again it punched me right in the chest that THIS was where I got the idea from. That little lonely, frightened girl who was reading to escape the thought of going to her Dad’s house had taken comfort in the thought of a cosy room with a bay window seat and I was almost transported back to reading this for the first time. Goosebumps and this book in particular will always hold a special place in my heart.
