"Stinetinglers" by R.L. Stine

This was a collection of 10 short stories. They were pretty good but they were almost too short. They felt like samples of Goosebumps books.

I wanted to read this one because I have the ARC for Stinetinglers 2. ( )

Stein has given a new generation another book to add to their scary stories to tell in the dark. These stories are different from his Goosebumps, Mostly Ghostly, and other series. They are one shot stories but are a bit darker and less comedic than most his other tales. I love how he plays on the fears of childhood, wordplay, and concepts we forget about as adults. On of my favorite of the new stories is when the kids’ skin will not stay on his body. As a librarian I love the story where the library books start attacking a student. It didn’t matter that I am an adult, Stein tells a story for all ages, both scary and spooky. ( )
