What happened to adventure books?

posted 1 year ago by KingLion7 1 year ago by KingLion7 +29 / -0

What happened to the adventure books for boys and men that used to be so prevalent once upon a time? Did they get replaced by other media? Pushed out by female domination? Dropped by big companies for all the typical political reasons?

Choose Your Own Adventure was the closest I ever got to enjoying horror.

Seriously, those books were MESSED UP at times!

Laughs in Goosebumps...

I still have an irrational fear of ventriloquist's dolls partly as a result. Ick...

But I bloody (ha) loved those books for a few years! Weird kid as I was, lol...
