R.l.stein / Goosbumps = Process?! No Way

Balugawhale · 01-05-2008

hey guys, thought i would contribute something.

i dont know if anyone here used to read goosbumps or ever picked one up, but there is a book i forget the name, but the cover is that of a kid stick in a sanwhich of purple goo.
its one of the ones where u get to choose ur own ending and story as it goes along. well this book contains ALOT of process and growth if u choose the alternate of shrinking int he story, which is what its about, the alternate story takes u through a growth story very well writen and damn suprising to see in a kids book, but yea its there, i just thought it funny cus i remembered reading the book when i was little and all these growth stories everyone posts up sparked a memory bank and i remember that book was the first growth story i ever read, and i was like 8, haha go figure. u should definetly check it out its worth the read, its from the first person perspective though which is kinda wierd, but u get over it if u just make urself to be a female character, seeing it through her eyes., and what not, i dont rememebr it all that well but i remember theres good process, yea jsut thought id let u guys know bout it,

its one of the goosbumps books taht allows u to pick what happens in the story, its a cover of a kid trapped in a purple goo sandwchich.

I remember the "Moster Blood" line involved a lot of growth. G-Rated, naturally.

I had two of those "choose your own" Goosebumbs books, both included rather ugly transformations, but no growth/shrinking stuff.

ProfessorMishap · 01-05-2008

There was one choose your own adventure called "Beware the purple Jelly" and it revolved around either eating the said purple jelly and shrinking. Or eating the chocolate cake which made you grow. Despite not being into the two genres at the time it was enjoyable. There was tons of process and many ways to deal with you growth/shrinking.

No, you guys have the name wrong. I own this book, it's called,"Beware of the Purple Peanut Butter." The series is called the Give Yourself Goosebumps series.

http://www.amazon.com/Beware-Purple-.../dp/0590673203

I was just thinking of these books, so I find it ironic you mention them, since I want to read the books that aren't choose your own adventure and see if they are any good, but I can't remember the name of it. It's somewhere in this book, though, they make a reference to it because this choose your own adventure is based off those books.

Thank you.

I haven't read Goosebumps in like 11 years, which shocks me that it has been that long. But I do remember the growth ones quite well as they were the only known content for me before I would eventually discover growth stories online (Nadie8's site being the first place I ever found on the web).

Anyway, based on what I remember, the Monster Blood stories were the only ones that featured any kind of growth. The all involved the same male protagonist who I believe was either in middle or high school and who I believe was named Evan. What follows below are pretty much the spoilers on what growth goes on, though I figure it's worth mentioning before you decide if you want to spend the time and money to get the books as they're all male growth.

In the first story, I believe it is Evan's dog that eats the goo that is called Monster Blood and becomes gigantic, though Evan does have a nightmare about waking up one day as a giant stuck in his room. The dog does go back to normal by the end.

In Monster Blood II, the classroom hamster eats the Monster Blood and becomes a gigantic beast. In an attempt to fight it, Evan eats some of the Monster Blood and gets something like taller than the lockers (is what I remember R.L. Stine describing it) but isn't big enough to stop the hamster. The Monster Blood ends up wearing off anyway and both he and the hamster instantly revert back to normal.

In Monster Blood III, Evan has this really annoying nerdy cousin named Kermit (I don't know why I remember that name), and he tries to pull some kind of prank on Kermit by rigging some kind of bread Kermit was baking to explode in Kermit's face by using Monster Blood to make it expand faster, but when it explodes, Evan accidentally swallows some of it and over a period of minutes grows into a 30 or 40 or 50 foot giant or something (with his clothes because apparently the goo covered his clothes too). I think Kermit figures out some kind of shrink serum to shrink Evan back to normal. In the middle of the night, Evan wakes up and realizes the shrink serum was too powerful as he has now shrunken to the size of a doggie chew toy. As far as I know, this was the last Monster Blood book.

What disappoints me is that Evan has a female best friend that is in every story with him and is pretty much the one he hangs out with all the time, and yet at no point does she ever end up eating the Monster Blood. It's always Evan. I read them hoping that by the end the girl would eat the Monster Blood but she never does. *sigh* Also keep in mind, in all these stories the growth doesn't really happen until near the latter half of the book.

Hahaha, another thing to mention just for fun - back when I was in middle school I remember in English class we'd have reading sessions. I had the "Beware of the Purple Peanut Butter" book among other Goosebumps books at the time. This one girl asked if she could read it, and so I let her (though I felt really uncomfortable because even then I knew I had a female growth fetish).

It's a choose your own adventure book and you choose if you want to eat the purple peanut butter or the seemingly plain looking cake. The peanut butter shrinks you and the cake makes you grow (and it's a wonderfully slow growth process as well) and then you go through the day slowly shrinking or growing and then eventually have to figure out how to stop and reverse it, if you can make enough of the right decisions and survive to the end.

After she read the book I asked her what she chose to eat. In the story itself you don't know what the food does until you eat it unless you read the back cover, which I don't think she did. She said ate the peanut butter and eventually ends up dying when she ends up in the sewer or something lol. But I kept thinking about what if she ate the cake? Ah, slow growth process fantasies in the early years, eh?

I am actually happy about this. I am female, myself, and I know I enjoy watching female growth, but I have no idea how I feel about male growth since I've never come across any content that contained it. There is a complete lack of that since most people with this fetish are male.

SkruLuce · 01-06-2008

There was another Goosebumps book I remember that involved two kids slowly turning into chickens, but I don't recall the title of the book.

FireStorm · 01-06-2008

Purple peanut butter ain't that good for growth. Half of it is shirnking, and the other half isn't well descirbed or terribly eventful. Its also kind of silly, and I mean that ina bad way. But if you have an account with amazon.com you can look at spefici pages, provided said account has actually bought something. Maybe somene can provide a username and password?
