Gooflumps is a two-part parody book series written in 1995 by Tom Hughes under the pseudonym of R. U. Slime. The books are parodies of the Goosebumps series by R. L. Stine. Both books were released simultaneously in 1995 by Random House, Inc. Both books are now out of print, but can be found on Amazon.com. Although originally released exclusively in the United States and Canada, the books are being sold in other countries for the first time thanks to the Internet. Each book had a tongue-in-cheek author's photo of Hughes upside down with wild, unkempt hair as "R.U. Slime".
