@TheNewsOwl I read Fear Street when I was younger and eagerly awaited for the next one to come out begging my mom to take me to the bookstore on release day so I could get the new book. People frowned at a 10/11/12 year old buying horror/murder books, stating it would damage my brain and encourage me to become a sociopath, lol.
@SmirkingRaven I Love horror/ thriller and sci fi
