Fun Fact
| "Most people don’t realize that I wrote for kids for more than twenty years before Goosebumps came along," Stine reveals in our exclusive interview. "I wrote joke books and humor books. I wrote entire series of choose-your-own-path-type books. I wrote Indiana Jones and G.I. Joe books. I wrote Mighty Mouse and Bullwinkle coloring books! I wrote a series of funny bubblegum cards. I had fun with all of it. I was earning a living doing what I'd always wanted to do. But my 'overnight' success took nearly 25 years!"
