If YA Novels Had R.L. Stine Taglines…
This is not a high-minded post. It has one goal: to celebrate the artistic genius of R.L. Stine, the king of spooky, the creator of all that creeps and crawls, and the haunted mayor of our hearts.
There are few things better in this life than picking up a Goosebumps or Fear Street novel, and the joy isn’t limited to its contents either. The title, the cover art, and the infamous, punny tagline all work together to create a masterpiece.
We wondered what it might be like if other YA novels enticed you with that same kind of biting, downright murderous humor. So behold: a list of some of your favorite YA novels—Stine-ified with ghoulish taglines. You’ll need to insert a well-timed Slappy cackle on your own.
