    R.L. Stine: 9 Reasons Why I Revived FEAR STREET, My Young Adult Horror Book Series

    Aren't You DYING to know?

    1. I just plain love killing off teenagers. (Who doesn’t?)

    2. I get to write a lot of evil scenes. My new Fear Street book, PARTY GAMES, features a woman whose hobby is taxidermy…on the living.

    3. Also in the new book, teenagers’ bodies are found half-eaten on front lawns in Shadyside. Fear Street Cannibals? I’m not telling.

    4. I have such nostalgia for the old Fear Street book where a boy reached for something in the garbage disposal. Someone flipped it on and promptly disposed of his hand.

    5. And I still chortle about the cheerleader Bobbi Corcoran who was scalded to death in the Shadyside High locker room shower. Nasty.

    6. Remember the girl whose face was rubbed off by a pottery wheel? Oh. Sorry. Too soon?

    7. Remember the pin hidden in the lipstick?

    8. I have even more hideous, unspeakable ideas for the new books.

    9. They pay me to do this.
