Hey, Can we actually READ the book online? I really wanna read this book. It sounds interesting. By the way I love all the books of Diary of a Wimpy Kid. They’re very funny and worth reading. Thanks for all your hard work and try to reply my comment back please!

Of course, there’s that difference. I drew the comparison from a thematic standpoint, of horror tame enough for kids’ consumption. You do good work, Rick.

As the artist who drew the Diary of A Stinky Dead Kid, I’m glad you noticed the influence on my work of the original EC Comics and the early Mad Magazine. They were great! I come directly out of that tradition and try to live up to that high standard. Thanks for noticing. One big difference, though between R.L. Stine’s GOOSEBUMPS, and our book is that ours is fully illustrated and not just text. Think comics, and you’re there.
