Meet the Author

R. L. Stine
R. L. Stine

R.L. Stine, author of the multimillion-selling Fear Street and Goosebumps series, lives in New York City with his wife, Jane, an editor and publisher, and their dog, Minnie. Visit RLStine.com.

Biography

Goosebumps cast a spell upon children by transforming even the most reluctant students into avid readers. Despite the fact that almost every book has a different collection of characters, the series has one common element that kids can't get enough of: the author!

However believable his plots seem to his readers, Stine insists he has never lived one of his stories. "I've never turned into a bee -- I've never been chased by a mummy or met a ghost. But many of the ideas in my books are suggested by real life. For example, one Halloween my son, Matt, put a mask on and then had trouble pulling it off. That gave me the idea for The Haunted Mask."

Although he never experienced terror first hand, he did enjoy reading about it. "When I was a kid, there were these great comic books called Tales From The Crypt and The Vault of Horror. They were gruesome. I discovered them in the barbershop and thought they were fabulous. I used to get a haircut every Saturday so I wouldn't miss any of these comic books. I had no hair at all when I was a kid!"

His ideas came from two sources: his memory and his imagination. "When I write, I try to think back to what I was afraid of or what was scary to me, and try to put those feelings into books." He also keeps a tribal mask and a skeleton hanging in his writing studio to provide eerie surroundings. Although he handles the writing by himself, Stine says he gets "lots of help from my editors, my readers, and my friends."

Kids reading Goosebumps may be looking for a scare, but the laughs they get are no accident. Before he was R. L., he was Jovial Bob, author of such works as 101 Silly Monster Jokes, and Bozos on Patrol and editor of Bananas magazine. His ability to know what kids will laugh at , as well as what will frighten them, makes the Goosebumps series all the more enjoyable for his readers.

Stine started writing when he was 9 years old! He would write stories and jokes on an old typewriter and hand them out at school. "The teacher would grab them and take them away," Stine says, "but I kept doing it." He wrote for his high school newspaper in Columbus Ohio. After graduating from Ohio State University, he moved to New York City, where he worked on a variety of writing jobs.

Although his books are fun and exciting, writing them is serious stuff. He treats writing "...like a job." To unwind after work he enjoys playing the pinball machine conveniently located in his own apartment.

For aspiring authors, Stine feels reading is as important as writing. He offers this advice: "If you want to be a writer, don't worry so much about writing. Read as much as you can. Read as many different writers as you can. Soak up the styles. You can learn all kinds of ways to say things." As a boy he read Norse legends, Greek myths, Edgar Allan Poe and baseball stories. "And Mad Magazine changed my life." Author biography courtesy of Scholastic, Inc.

Good To Know

In our interview with Stine, he shared some fun and fascinating facts with us:

"My first job in New York was making up fake interviews with movie and TV stars for a group of six movie magazines. I never spoke to the stars I wrote about. I wrote three-to-four "interviews" a day, all out of my imagination."

"'I've written over 300 books but I never learned to type. I use only one finger, the pointer on my left hand -- that's all. Three hundred books on one finger! The finger is very ugly now -- completely bent and curled and callused. When I show it to audiences, they can't believe it! This is my sacrifice for my art!"

"Sometimes kids show up at my country house and ask if my son Matt can come out and play. That's because they saw him mentioned in the back of my books. But they're very disappointed when he comes to the door -- because Matt is in his mid-twenties now! They were reading very old books! Matt is a musician, composer, and sound designer. You can hear his music at my web site, www.rlstine.com."

"I hope my readers get a chance to see my 4-D movie, R. L. Stine's Haunted Lighthouse. The movie stars Christopher Lloyd, Michael McKean, Lea Thompson, Weird Al, and others. You can find it playing at four parks: SeaWorld San Antonio, SeaWorld San Diego, Busch Gardens Tampa, and Busch Gardens Williamsburg, Virginia. Watch out -- you might get very wet!"

    great 4 and a half stars

    The story is about a mother and a 16 year old daughter being burned because they were accused of being witches so Edward Fier son of Mathew Fier would not marry her and marry a rich girl instead. The father {William Goode} was a wizard and wanted revenge on the family who burned his family. His family was innocent but he was not. The Fier family fled the village. William went on a journey to find them. 20 years later he found them and turned himself into a young boy and worked on their field. He hypnotized there daughter by love. Slowly the family suffered. William or the young boy was invited to their house. There his identity was revealed and he disappeared. All of them died except for one boy who was 6. Edward, Mary, and Erza the little boy fled the house. Edward died of exhaustion, Mary drowned herself. Only Erza was left. Everything leads to the burning of the girl and the mother and William seeking for revenge. So I chose that passage that describes him being a powerful wizard who wanted revenge. IT WAS a GREAT story

    A smart person would make this series into a movie

    I loved this book and series it helped me to become an avid reader. I choose to get this one on the Nook for my daughter I just wish more of his earlier works were available for the Nook. If your child likes horror and mystery you can't get any better than Fear Street.

    sad, but great

    I like to read his books, there nice for one of those days where you want to crawl under you blankets and read a scary story. This book, I wanted to read, because I wanted to know how the evil started, and I'm shocked. I think its sad what happened to the Goode's and I feel more sorry for them then the Fier's(Fear's). But, it was very good, one of the best horror stroys I read, I look forward to reading the next book, if I can find it! I would recomend this book to horror lovers and people who like good mystrious books, good job R.L. Stine, great book(best saga of all the fear street books, that I've read.)

    The Best Book By R.L.Stine Ever

    This... Was the best book I have ever read in my life! I loved the Betrayal particullary because I love reading about witch trials and witchcraft and I live in a famous Witch State of Massachusetts where the Betrayal took place! R.L. Stine is my favorite author and I have read ninety-nine of his books. I am not going to tell what the Betrayal was about for I would spoil it. All I can say was it was terrific! Read it! You won't be sorry!
