Give Yourself Goosebumps was R.L. Stine's choose-your-own-path offshoot of his horror juggernaut, handing the scares directly to the reader. Each book branches at every turn into multiple endings, most of them grisly, so a wrong choice drops you into a monster's jaws, a haunted hotel, or a department store that comes alive after midnight.
The conceit fit Goosebumps perfectly. The main series already ran on cliffhangers and last-page twists, and the gamebook format turned that propulsion into a game of survival. These are books-only by nature, short and replayable, built less to be read than to be navigated.
The Give Yourself Goosebumps gamebooks franchise spans 5 books in the CrossBinge catalog.
