Witty, creepy, and compulsively readable, bestselling author R.L. Stine defined horror
for a generation of young readers. The generation that grew up with the Goosebumps
franchise may be grown, but Stine keeps finding ways to keep us afraid of the dark! Join
us with The Guinness Book of World Records’ “most prolific author of children’s horror
novels,” R.L. Stine, to discuss his illustrious and still-expanding body of work.
 
Best known for the Goosebumps and Fear Street series (and their respective TV and
movie adaptations), R.L. Stine has sold over 400 million books worldwide in 35
languages. His recent and upcoming works include The Last Sleepover, which is the
fifth installment in the Goosebumps: House of Shivers series; The Graveyard Club, a
YA graphic novel illustrated by Carola Borelli; multiple Fear Street movies, including
Fear Street: Prom Queen; and Goosebumps: The Vanishing, the second season of the
Goosebumps reboot TV series. 
 
Becky Spratford, acclaimed horror maven and editor of Why I Love Horror: Essays on
Horror Literature, will join R.L. Stine in conversation.
