I think it takes a lot of skill to make a successful parody of something without just ...you know, copying the original, and this book definitely does that. It is obviously based on Scooby Doo and the general structure is the same as well as a lot of fun and silly references thrown in [like the Zoinx River] but this is definitely way better than if it was just someone's Scooby Doo fanfiction with all the names changed because copyright. The characters are are different and relatable [I love Andy so much!] but still have enough random traits from the characters we know and love to feel familiar, and I always love a good Eldritch horror monster! My favorite Scooby Doo things were always the ones were the monsters were real [Zombie Island, Witch's Ghost, etc] so this was definitely a fun ride for me.
