The Blob That Ate Everyone is the 55th book in R.L. Stine's "Goosebumps" series.

Plot

In this story, Zackie Beauchamp (pronounced "Beech-am" instead of "Bow-shahm"), a wannabe horror writer, comes across a magical typewriter and pen at an abandoned store that was destroyed in a lightning storm. The typewriter has the power to turn whatever is typed with it into reality. Zackie begins to write about a blob that consumes everything in town, and a blob appears in his town doing just as he had written. Zackie tries to destroy the monster with the pen and typewriter, but the monster eats both the typewriter and the pen. Soon, after realizing that the typewriter's "powers" didn't activate after his rival Adam typed on it, Zackie then realizes that the power possessed by the typewriter actually came from an electric shock he incurred when he and his friend Alex Iarocca were at the abandoned store. All he has to do is think about something and it will come true. Zackie uses his new found power to make the blob monster go away. In the end, it is revealed that a blob was actually writing the story and his critiquing friend suggests he change the ending so Zackie and Alex are eaten.
