That’s not to say that this wasn’t a fun read. Turns out, my heart jumped the gun and it is still firmly in the “cartoons and weed” category. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU NEED IN YOUR LIFE, my heart screamed. So, kick me in the crotch and spit on my neck if I wasn’t through-the-roof excited to find that someone had taken my Scooby Gang and turned it into an adult caper! Not only that, it’s mixed with a little Lovecraft flare?! It’s just that nowadays I’ve turned it into more of an adult activity. I suppose it says something about my love for Scooby-Doo that I still watch it in my 30s. But as it turned out, I had really boring neighbours growing up so I had to live vicariously through shows like Ghostwriter, The Secret World of Alex Mack and the Scooby Gang. I have always had an affinity for mystery-solving kids because I myself wanted to be a mystery-solving kid. Here’s a fun fact about me: one of my go-to stress-relieving past times is getting as baked as a potato and watching Scooby-Doo.
