Halloween Night (1) sticks in my mind most memorably from his forays into The Point Horror series that I loved as a child and teenager.

Him and L.J. Smith - I was always a sucker for “teen paranormal romance” especially if it had a big dose of horror/the macabre.

Goosebumps! I used to read those like crazy. Them along with the Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys books. They were my favourites. It's been a while since I've read anything from Stine but I remember the books to be well-written and interesting. I think he's an okay writer, would definitely recommend.

I loooooved R.L. Stein!! Night of the Living Dummy scarred me for life! I always regret giving them all away... I guess my love for Stephen King makes more sense haha
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!” HST

I totally forgot about the Fear Street Series until right now. I absolutely loved those books growing up! I read every singe one of them from our school library. They are definitely what got me into thriller type books.

I didn’t realize RL Stine moved on to adult fiction. My brother and I loved Goosebumps while growing up. Some more than others but they were always interesting. I will definitely look up his other work.

Goosebumps was probably every middle schooler's first introduction to horror, and credit where credit is due: at the time, those books kept me up at night! I'd say a R.L. Stine re-read is in order for me -- how does his books hold up on a second read as someone older?

Goosebumps are fantastic. Kid-friendly horror novels?! I loved them as a kid & they really offered a lot of entertainment. Especially the "select the ending" ones! :D

He wrote a few “choose your own path” books and I really enjoyed them. Gosh, I haven’t thought about Goosebumps in years except the Netflix show. Has anyone watched? I haven’t made time yet.

Oooh I loved creepy book as a kid. We have a very famous dutch creepy children book writer Paul van Loon. He has an amazing series about a spooky schoolbus and another one about a werewolf kid.

I have fond memories of reading those books. And being the strange kid I was, I was always disappointed not more children died in the books...

I think he's an amazing author. However I do think that much of his work is geared specifically to younger audiences. Despite this I always was interested in his various works when I was younger, his characters don't need to be well-written or morally correct for us to be interested and invested in the overarching story.
A process cannot be understood by stopping it. Understanding must move with the flow of the process, must join it and flow with it.

The only person who can sympathize with and understand you, is you. So, be good to yourself.

Loved goosebumps from my childhood. Even today I loved to read R.L Stine fantastic ghosty stories. Easy language, understandable, and amazing twist. It's not about pages but it's about the story which he brings up.

The name did not ring a bell initially, but when you mentioned the goosebumps series, I knew that he is a well-known author. I have heard of him and I've picked up a few of his books in primary school.
