Welcome, ladies and gentlemen.
Yes, this is a new YA snark blog. No, that's not the most original idea I've ever had, but what are bandwagons for if not jumping on? In an attempt not to step too badly on the toes of any other bloggers, though, I'm going to focus on YA and children's horror-- but not the big names (ha, "big names") like Goosebumps, Fear Street or Christopher Pike, which have already been thoroughly covered.
Nope, I'm gonna cover the weird, obscure stuff that came out of the children's/teen horror trend of the 90s. Sure, most of them were soulless cash-ins on the success of Stine and Pike, but that makes them perfect snark-fodder. Plus, you probably don't remember them, which means if I want to get drunk and make things up you'll never know the difference.
(I won't. Make things up, that is. I might get drunk. I might need to.)
Of course, the blog's theme is more like a guideline, really. If I get tired of covering Goosebumps ripoffs, I might cover some Sweet Valley High ripoffs once in a while, for a nice change of pace. Or any other random, weird stuff I come across. Or bad jokes about Edward Cullen, 'cause that's how I roll.
Kicking things off with Maniac by John Peel, speaking of random weird stuff. 'Cause if we're gonna do this, we might as well barrel straight into the land of batshit insanity. Watch this space.
