( )The plot is about a boy and his family who have moved into a house with a strange curse. The curse causes green blood to ooze from the ceiling and walls. This boy tried to get rid of the curse. This is a fairly good book with a good storyline. I recommend it to teens that like reading about monsters and stuff like that. It is also quite easy to read and is one of the most popular R.L Stine books. I rate this book 7/10. It is good. hamza nouman The third in the Goosebumps series, Monster Blood is a riot of creepiness and is sure not to disappoint! I think I see a pattern developing (though I suppose three books in is a bit too soon to make any final judgments)...this series seems to be more about a campy and creepy type of vibe than a truly horrific/scary one (though the first one, I felt was genuinely scary in places), I'm getting a bit of Tales from the Crypt Jr. feel as I am going through the series and I rather like that. In this volume, we meet Evan (and his new friend Andy). Evan has come for a few weeks to say with his Great-Aunt while his parents are looking for a new home for them to buy...the main problem with this being that his Great Aunt is deaf, stubborn and a bit creepy. After being dropped off, Evan is sure he's going to be miserable for the whole time he's there and this is largely confirmed when he is immediately set upon by the local bullies (twins). He is temporarily saved by Andy who quickly becomes his friend and they set off together to browse the old toy store that is going out of business. As Andy looks for a present for her cousin and comes up empty handed, Evan discovers a can of "monster blood" and simply must have it. The owner sells it reluctantly and Evan and Andy scurry out of the shop with their new prize. After getting it home, they play with it for a while and as with all Goosebumps books...it's all down hill from there. Something strange is happening with the monster blood...it's growing, expanding and starting to take on a life of it's own! What will Evan do...how did this happen, read and find out...you won't be disappointed! Evan is forced to stay with his great-aunt Kathryn, and she seems pretty weird, but what ends up really weird is the monster blood that he and a friend pick up. It keeps growing and growing, and then it gets hungry... Finally Evan learns the secret to why Kathryn is so weird- she's prisoner of a witch. They defeat the blood, the witch, and get rid of the local bullies at the same time. no reviews | add a review
