Still Afraid of the Dark: An Evening with R.L. Stine Online
Witty, creepy, and compulsively readable, bestselling author R.L. Stine defined horror for a generation of young readers. The generation that grew up with the Goosebumps franchise may be grown, but Stine keeps finding ways to keep us afraid of the dark. Join us for a virtual evening with The Guinness Book of World Records' "most prolific author of children’s horror novels" as he discusses his illustrious and still-expanding body of work. Becky Spratford, acclaimed horror maven and editor of Why I Love Horror: Essays on Horror Literature, will join Stine in conversation.
