R.L. Stine Will Write More “Fear Street” Books

Author R.L. Stine, author of a massive amount of children’s horror books, will return to the street that made him famous. Stine was famous for writing young adult books called “Fear Street” and was able to publish more than 300 novels. Fear Street wasn’t his only series. He also published a famous series that was aimed at younger audiences called Goosebumps. Stine’s books were very popular, lining the shelves of class rooms everywhere and being checked out in great number in school libraries as well as public libraries. Many kids from that era probably have several bookshelves still that are full of horror books with R.L.Stine’s name on the spine.

Stine wrote the Fear Street and Goosebumps and the rest of his over 300 library, back in the 1990’s and now fans can look forward to another installment featuring Shadyside High School and the terrors that they will go through. Stine is 70 years old, but his writing hand has yet to falter. The previous run of the Fear Street series sold eighty million copies, and the fans that Stine made back then are fans for life, and you can bet that many adults will be picking up a copy of the new books, if for nothing else but to reminiscence about their childhood reading. In fact, it is that very fan base that has inspired Stine to start writing the series again. They have been writing to him for years asking him to revive the series nearly twenty years later.

Currently, Stine has only signed on to write three more Fear Street books. The first one is going to be called “Party Games” and it will be released in October of 2014. The summary of the storyline goes something like this: Shadyside High School Senior Brendan Fear has a birthday party at a summer house on Fear Island. Stine said that the real reason that this happened was because of Twitter. “It’s a great way to keep in touch with my original readers, and ‘Fear Street’ was mentioned more than anything else. That’s what they read when they were kids. And I suppose we’re all nostalgic for what we read back then.”
