I had to ask myself if this was for real


Ghouls Gone Wild? This made me laugh out loud at the library. This is officially my favourite title for a kids' book. In a very unprofessional kind of way. As this recent installation in the Mostly Ghostly series for young kids by massively popular (and prolific) author R.L. Stine made its way through the publishing process, I can't help wondering whether everyone along the way understood the porn reference. And if so, how did that conversation go? Do kids not watch late-night TV too?

A quick google search will show that Stine wasn't the first one to think up this pun, so don't get confused and start telling kids there's a movie version of this book coming out this year....
