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!

Best known for the “Goosebumps” and “Fear Street” series, Stine has sold over 400 million books worldwide in 35 languages. His recent and upcoming works include “The Last Sleepover;” “The Graveyard Club,” a YA graphic novel illustrated by Carola Borelli; multiple “Fear Street” movies, such as “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 made possible by ILP, a statewide collaboration among public libraries offering premier events. ILP is funded in part by a grant awarded by the Illinois State Library, a department of the Office of Secretary of State, using funds provided by the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services, under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA).

This program will be presented online via Zoom. It is free and open to the public, but registration is required to receive the Zoom link. Please make sure to mark “Harvard Diggins Library” when registering, so the library may receive participation credit.
