Still Afraid of the Dark: An Evening with R.L. Stine - ILP
2026-02-24 19:00 - 20:00 | Online, Online, Granite City, IL, 62040, United States
Still Afraid of the Dark: An Evening with R.L. Stine
Tuesday, February 24 | 7-8 PM
https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_vc04-wcIQOmvC7vQhZZZpw#/registration
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 with The Guinness Book of World Records’ “most prolific author of children’s horror novels,” R.L. Stine, to discuss his illustrious and still-expanding body of work.
Best known for the Goosebumps and Fear Street series (and their respective TV and movie adaptations), R.L. Stine has sold over 400 million books worldwide in 35 languages. His recent and upcoming works include The Last Sleepover, which is the fifth installment in the Goosebumps: House of Shivers series; The Graveyard Club, a YA graphic novel illustrated by Carola Borelli; multiple Fear Street movies, including Fear Street: Prom Queen; and Goosebumps: The Vanishing, the second season of the Goosebumps reboot TV series.
Becky Spratford, acclaimed horror maven and editor of Why I Love Horror: Essays on Horror Literature, will join R.L. Stine in conversation.
This event is intended for adults.
Registration for this event closes at 5 PM on event day. Late registrations will be processed after the live event, allowing access to the event recording.
