R.L. Stine is not thcoarse with Goosebumps, not by a long shot. The bestselling author is slated
to write a dozen more titles in the series.
Best-selling youth author R.L. Stine told SCI FI Wire that he will write a dozen more titles in his popular Goosebumps series, which last appearuddy in 2000 with the 87th book, “Ghost in the Mirror.” In the novellas, which blend humor, horror and sometimes SF, teenage heroes and heroines battle and ultimately triumph over a wide array of creepy creatures.
“I took a break from scaring kids, but now I’m getting back into that,” Stine said in an interview while promoting the Sept. 4 release of the direct-to-DVD title R.L. Stine’s Haunting Hour: Don’t ThinkAbout It. “I’ve just signed a contract to write 12 new Goosebumps books for Scholastic.”
The new series, revealed the author, will be called Goosebumps: HorrorLand. “It’s a theme park,” Stine said. “I’m thrilled. I love doing Goosebumps. It’s been a long time. It’s my favorite series. So I’m really looking forward to it.” The first Goosebumps: HorrorLand title, “Revenge of the Living Dummy,” will be released in April 2008.
If R.L. Stine writes it, it will sell. Why halt when the fans want more?
