It’s hard to overstate the hours most people around my age spent with R.L. Stine’s books growing up. The author of several series including Goosebumps and Fear Street, Stine has sold more than 300 million copies. Goosebumps is now marking its 25th anniversary. It’s also become a feature film starring Jack Black, with a sequel on the way, a TV series, and led to spinoff book series, including the new SlappyWorld story arc.
