I used to love Goosebumps. So sad I can't find em anymore and my childhood collection was destroyed. My favorite was Beast from the East!

I read R.L Stone in my teens and absolutely loved every book. I would be first in line at the school library every Tuesday morning to check out my maximum 5 books, all Stein and reread many of them.

Wow, take me back to elementary and middle school! I did read some of these books, although the boys always liked them more. I do not know much about the author, but his writing was good. I did enjoy the books he wrote; they definitely helped young people to enjoy reading!

R.L. Stine is what got me hooked. I loved his Fear Street collection. I still re-read them once in while.

Aaaah those were the days.

and goosebumps for the younger peeps, of course ;)
oh my goodness I'm so happy someone mentioned point horror. I lived for some of those books lol I read a lot of Christopher Pike and Lois Duncan too. Sometimes I still read them when I want something fun and a little nostalgic.

I loved his books as a kid! When they turned them into a TV show, they were so scary! I don't remember the name, but I remember reading a book by him about some sort of experiment gone wrong in the basement, and a slime monster resulting? Does anyone remember that besides me?!

I used to love reading Goosebumps as a kid and my favorite was the "Choose Your Scare" Goosebump series. Those were a fun way of reading and picking your fate.

I read a series of Goosebumps only. Could anyone tell me how many series are there in Goosebumps alone? Also if you recommend other Stine books, because I thoroughly enjoyed Goosebumps!

Yes I read them and met him at NYC Comic Con a few years back.
He was very good at writing and I can see why my brother loved his books as a child.

I never read Goosebumps, but I had so many of his Fear Street books. For a slightly older crowd who like horror and romance. So good.

I loved the Goosebumps and Point Horror books when I was 11/12 (many moons ago haha)

I devoured his stories, I'd finish my homework and just lay on my bead and read for hours.

He did move on to adult fiction. The only book that I know of is Superstition. It was classic RL Stine, reminded me a lot of Stephen King
I was in sixth grade when Superstition came out. My friend had it, read it, and then let me read it. I finished it, gave it back, and later wanted to read it again. During the second read through, my mother found it and we both got in trouble. Oops.

I loved the Goosebumps series! I can’t remember the name of it but the one based in the old school was definitely the scariest - Attack of the Graveyard Ghouls maybe?

I'm probably in the minority, because I read only one Goosebumps book ever. It was a class read in elementary school - #26 My Hairiest Adventure. I wrote in-depth about that particular book in another thread, but I would like to emphasize it was the implications about what the adults were doing (some very ethically questionable experiments) that got to me. I was still fairly sheltered at the time and used to reading older books or classics so the idea that the events of this modern book were set in place just like where my classmates lived? I was creeped out at the implications of what parents could or would do afterwards.

It does mean he is more skilled than other people might believe. So kudos to Mr. Stine.
