When I was a kid, I was afraid to go anywhere near the horror genre. The only times I ever felt like trying it out was when I would see a Goosebumps novel peeking out of a shelf in the school library. I always loved the covers, marveling as their bold colors painted pictures of snarling creatures, evil ventriloquist dummies, and even just menacing hands coming out from the darkness. While I admired them more than read them, I grew to appreciate the series because it was a nice stepping stone for those who wanted horror yet were too afraid to jump into Stephen King or H.P. Lovecraft. R.L. Stine cornered the market on kid-friendly horror so well that they’re still considered iconic to the current generation of kids.
