VIRTUAL Still Afraid of the Dark: An Evening with R.L. Stine

in association with Illinois Libraries Present

Stine keeps finding ways to keep us afraid of the dark! The Guinness Book of World Records’ “most prolific author of children’s horror novels” discusses his illustrious and still-expanding works.

Witty, creepy, and compulsively readable, bestselling author R.L. Stine defined horror for a generation of young readers. Best known for the Goosebumps and Fear Street series (and their respective TV and movie adaptations), R.L. Stine has sold over 400 million books worldwide in 35 languages. His recent and upcoming works include The Last Sleepover, which is the fifth installment in the Goosebumps: House of Shivers series; The Graveyard Club, a YA graphic novel illustrated by Carola Borelli; multiple Fear Street movies, including Fear Street: Prom Queen; and Goosebumps: The Vanishing, the second season of the Goosebumps reboot TV series. 

Becky Spratford, acclaimed horror maven and editor of Why I Love Horror: Essays on Horror Literature, will join R.L. Stine in conversation.
