R.L. Stine Has Maintained His Kidlit Horror Writing Career for 20 Years
July 20, 2012
The creator of the Goosebumps series has been delighting horror story fans within the children's publishing world for the past 20 years. R.L. Stine's books have sold more than 300 million copies and translated into 32 languages.
"Stine may be the most prolific of the kid authors as well as one of the most sustaining. In a 2007 issue of Entertainment Weekly, Stephen King called him 'perhaps the best-selling children’s author of the 20th century.' And even compared to massive series success stories like Harry Potter and The Hunger Games, Stine has by far written the greatest number of books—at one point, he was on a schedule that had him writing a book monthly."
