From New York Times bestselling author R.L. Stine, the master of horror for young readers, comes ten new stories that are sure to leave you shivering.
A boy who hates bugs starts to see them everywhere. A basketball player’s skin starts to almost drip off his hands―but no one else can see it. Three friends find a hole in the ground that just gets bigger, and bigger, and bigger... And each story is introduced by Stine himself, providing a personal touch sure to delight fans.
Laced with Stine’s signature humor and a hefty dose of nightmarish fun, Stinetinglers is perfect for fans of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark and Stine’s own Goosebumps books. These chilling tales prove that Stine’s epic legacy in the horror genre is justly earned. Dive in, and beware: you might be sleeping with the lights on tonight!
All that pickiness I experience when reading YA, recently? It doesn’t at all apply to the genius that is R.L. Stine. Part nostalgia and part appreciation for Stine’s incredibly ability to keep writing spooky stories–I thoroughly enjoyed each of the stories in this anthology.
These stories, while “scary”, aren’t too frightening–and are perfect for the middle-grade reader that isn’t too sensitive.
Each of the ten stories is short, but straight to the frightening point. And I absolutely loved being immersed back into a world that I loved as a kid. And each story being prefaced with a slight backstory from Stine just enriched each tale.
