About the book
Before he was famous for frightening readers, R. L. Stine was a nine-year-old with an old typewriter found in his family’s attic. His early writing included jokes, and he later created the humor magazine Bananas.
This illustrated biography follows his path to creating Goosebumps and becoming one of the best-selling authors in history. The publisher describes a career with more than 400 million copies of horror fiction sold worldwide—a remarkable story behind the books that kept so many kids awake at night.
