It's July, which means it's time once again for our annual (WOO!) Party Summer month. A month full of books set around the summertime. And t
Summertime has arrived and with it is the annual July tradition. It's (Woo!) Party Summer month. And we start with a slimy trip back to Graveyard School, though not actually at Graveyard School. It's Slime Lake.
Ko-fi requests for @judedeluca!! Thanks!

Initial Thoughts
As thanks for putting up with my depression last month, I’ve chosen to do recaps focusing on some of my favorite books which means another short break from the chronological order. I just wish I had some commissions to add to this one.
“Tales Too Scary” is special in the Graveyard School series because it’s the only entry that’s an anthology of stories. Unlike the “Tales To Give You Goosebumps” books, this one has a framing story encompassing the first and last chapters, and a features an eclectic grouping of the GS cast including my favorite, Jordie “The Human Computer” Flanders. The situation’s a cross between “Hansel and Gretel” and “1001 Arabian Nights” which of course captured my interest right away.
One of the stories is interesting because it’s told in three parts by three different storytellers.
You wanna believe I began the draft for this last year after I was officially made a recapper by Wing? I couldn’t wait to share this with all of you.
Also, I simply had to include the Lithuanian adaption’s cover artwork because I can’t tell if it’s horrible or amazing.
As a head’s up Wing, there IS a story with bugs, but it doesn’t include spiders.
[Wing: Thanks for the head’s up. I personally adore the Lithuanian cover, though that doesn’t really answer the whole horrible or amazing question, because either, both, whatever, I would still adore it.]
READ AT DEVIL’S ELBOW
It's time to ride once again into Graveyard School. We haven't covered enough of this series yet, but it's definitely one I've been itching
It's a trip back to Graveyard School with a story involving bullies, possible ax murderers and some real on the nose references to other horror works.
