Animorphs Revealed To Be A Series Of Horrifically Violent Video Games

SANTA ANA, CA—In a shocking revelation that has sent shockwaves through the children’s literature community, sources confirmed Wednesday that the Animorphs series of books is actually a series of horrifically violent video games. “We are still working to uncover all the details, but what we do know is that after reading a book in the series, children can insert a CD-ROM into their CD-ROM drive and then use their CD-ROM controller to morph into an animal and engage in bloody, gory battles against other animals,” said literary critic Dr. Kenneth Fennel, adding that the books are also believed to include a variety of weapons and armor for children to collect and use in their bloody fight for survival. “We are still trying to figure out how this fits into the larger Animorphs universe, but it appears that after morphing into an animal, you can also collect coins and power-ups. We have also found evidence suggesting that there may be multiple versions of some of these animals with different abilities.” At press time, Dr. Fennel noted that he was deeply disturbed by reports that author K.A. Applegate may have been heavily influenced by Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island and Super Metroid while writing the series.
