Slappy strode through the dimly lit town glancing at all the structures. The other monsters seemed to be enjoying their new-found freedom. He watched as two the Beasts get into a fight and a Horror separate the two throwing them in opposite directions. One of them crashed through a wall but the wall repaired itself as the Beast move away. "She really did think of everything." Slappy thought as he continued to walk. He spotted a library and headed there. There were a few ghosts but other than that it was empty. Slappy browsed through the books and found a variety from Lord of the Rings to classics such as Tom Sayer and the Call of the Wild but to his surprise there were no Goosebumps books. It was only then that he spotted a yellow and black book out on a small table that looked like it was made for him. He read the title of the book, Horrorland for Dummies. It even had an illustration of him on the cover. "You've got to be kidding me." Slappy muttered allowed as he opened it and began to read.

Slappy if you are the one reading this, I promise this is not meant to be an insult towards you. There is an entire series of for Dummies books. I would tell you to Google it but you probably have no idea what that means and that is the partial purpose of this book.

First things first there is a magical barrier surrounding the territory I managed to secure for you and your kind. It is specifically designed to prevent any Goosebumps monsters from leaving and deter any non-magical humans. It may seem like just another prison but it is for your own protection as well as the humans. The fact of the matter is Goosebumps just aren't as fierce as the real deal and besides that there are other things that would rip you apart faster than you could blink. I would explain further but it's kind of hard to believe and the point is you can't defend yourselves.

"She must be talking about the demons." Slappy thought to himself before continuing to read.

It goes without saying that Stine has no idea I did this. That said even if you contacted him he would never be able to find the place so get it out of your system! Horrorland is designed with many different areas to accommodate everyone's need. I based those needs off of what was written in the books. (Yes, I read them all.) Damage to structures is fixed automatically with magic and food appears based on need. Both game animals and grocery items are present. The dwellings are also specifically designed for each individual.

There were a number of chapters on how to use something called the internet but Slappy skipped ahead to the chapter labeled Draconidaes. He recognized it as Latin for family of the dragon.

Draconidaes is what my species is called. While often referred to as dragons we are not considered true dragons as a true dragon does not have a human form. We don't mind which you decide to call us. Draconidaes do have many of the same abilities, such as control of the elements, as true dragons as well as a few of our own. It is a draconidaes duty to protect both humans and monsters from each other and other threats. We are considered by many to be heads of the monster community. The only ones who believe themselves above us are humans and the wizarding community. Wizards are an ambitious group when it comes to control. If they had their way they would be the only ones with magic and you would all be dead or experiments in their attempt to learn how Stine trapped monsters in books. They would kill for that kind of knowledge. This is why I am assigning an on-call dragon at all times to keep an eye on things. Because they are magical, wizards are able to enter Horrorland and there is no way to keep them out. For now, they have no knowledge of this place but if a wizard did enter immediately tell the on-call dragon or contact me. I do have some pull with them. Draconidaes are fierce warriors so consider yourself warned. Do not anger the on-call dragon. They will make you suffer for it and I will hear about it and probably laugh at your pain.

Slappy couldn't help but chuckle at that last line.

Horrorland is something that has never been attempted before. By that I mean a community solely made up of monsters. The wizarding community has made sure of that as they have always seen it as too dangerous. Because of this there is a large possibility that monsters from the outside may come here to see if this is even possible. The on-call dragon will assess their threat level but this territory belongs to the Goosebumps monsters. You have the authority on whether or not they can stay. As far as authority among you Goosebumps monsters goes you will have to decide that among yourselves.

Slappy stopped reading. He was obviously the leader, wasn't he? Slappy decided to finish the book rest later. He took the book with him and also picked up a book called Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. The artwork on the cover intrigued him. Slappy made his way to the residential part of the park. He quickly found a mailbox with his name painted in acid green letters. "This must be my place." Slappy decided. At first glance it didn't look very special but as he approached the front door he noticed that while it was a normal sized house things were adjusted to better suit a person of his height. Even the furniture looked like it was built for him. The style surprisingly matched his preferences which was scary. He sat in the small black leather chair and began to read.
