About the Author

R.L. Stine, the master of spine-tingling tales for young readers, has captivated generations with his Goosebumps series, igniting imaginations and fueling nightmares since the early 1990s. Born in Columbus, Ohio, Stine began his writing career with humor books before diving into horror, creating a universe where ordinary kids face extraordinary terrors from living dummies to haunted masks. With over 400 million books sold worldwide, his SlappyWorld spin-off expands the Goosebumps legacy, introducing fresh frights through the mischievous ventriloquist dummy Slappy. Stine's accessible prose and cliffhanger endings have made him a cornerstone of children's literature, earning him the nickname 'Stephen King of children's books' and inspiring countless adaptations in TV and film.
