But also masterpieces when looking for un-bloated thrills. In some ways this streamlined approach makes the Fear Street novellas "minor" in terms of literary quality. Not a single word appears unless it aids in misdirection, adds horror, creates suspects, or increases drama. Limited to approximately 35,000 words, there's no space to waste on unnecessary description or character development. Not to mention the murders and Fear Street curse.Īs per usual, Stine carefully boils the pot, adding danger with every chapter and nagging uncertainty over who's masterminding the horror hijinks. A battle for cheer captain disrupts practice, jealousy over the quarterback's affection keeps tensions high. There's no shortage of drama on the Shadyside cheerleading squad. Stine has received numerous awards of recognition, including several Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards and Disney Adventures Kids' Choice Awards, and he has been selected by kids as one of their favorite authors in the NEA's Read Across America program. His other major series, Fear Street, has over 80 million copies sold. In the early 1990s, Stine was catapulted to fame when he wrote the unprecedented, bestselling Goosebumps® series, which sold more than 250 million copies and became a worldwide multimedia phenomenon. Stine began his writing career when he was nine years old, and today he has achieved the position of the bestselling children's author in history.
