Monster Blood

A small vial of green blood grows into a world-ending nightmare.

Monster Blood is one of the most memorable entries in the original Goosebumps series, first published in 1992. It tells the story of a strange green substance discovered in a vial that grows larger and more dangerous with every meal. The book was part of the 62-book run from 1992 to 1997, with cover art by Tim Jacobus. It was later reprinted in the "Classic Goosebumps" reissue series that began in 2015 and included in the "25th Anniversary Retro Set" collector's tin (September 26, 2017), which also contained Why I'm Afraid of Bees, A Night in Terror Tower, The Beast From the East, and The Blob That Ate Everyone. The story remains a fan favorite for its simple but terrifying premise of a growing, hungry blob.
