It was also the only Goosebumps audiobook they had that I hadn't reviewed yet. I made an exception for this audiobook because I got it from the library. I generally like to own the books I'm reading. I haven't read it yet because I don't own it. It is, I believe, a sequel to Deep Trouble which I have already read and reviewed here. There is also a Deep Trouble 2. So what do we`ave here? It is number 2 of the HorrorLand series, Creep From the Deep. I am not really a big audiobook listener but I thought that one of these books would be short enough to keep my focus and the potential for audio spookiness could add a new layer to the story. For the first time ever I'm reviewing the audiobook version of a Goosebumps book! I thought it would be a unique experience. If you look close you'll notice it is the cover for the audiobook version of Creep From the Deep. Well that was an astute observation.

Just then, a siren goes off outside the theatre. “There will be no mob justice today! Trust in the law,” Reeves says, as the boy in the audience says the words with him, smiling.
