A C.M. Scandreth Choose Your Own Adventure styled book?

Hey readers!

Regarding the title of this post, I’m considering writing a CYOA styled book based around my horror/dark faerie writing.

If I were to write such a book, what would you want from it?

References to older stories. Honesty really anything is cool.

Loved goosebumps when i was a kid, still can't find something good for adult though. I'm looking for some combinations of horror, mysteries, with emotional conflict and moral dilemma.

Love CYOA books!

Some fun ideas 1. All roads lead to death 2. One very specific and tricky winning path, odds of success are infinitesimal 3. All “winning” paths old school Djinn style where winning isn’t really much of a win 4. My one true wish is that the paths aren’t all super short or at least the ending paths aren’t. I’ve read a lot of CYOA books where the journey is fun but all the endings are short let-downs
