R.L. Stine's adult novel

Name: Anonymous 2009-11-05 23:02

So I just found out today that R.L. Stine wrote a horror novel for adults like 15 years ago.  It is called "Superstitious."  If it weren't for reading Goosebumps as a kid, I probably would be like most people and never read, instead of reading on average 1 novel per month.  So I figured I owed it to the guy to check out his only (?) serious novel aimed at adults. 

I picked it up at the library earlier today and am about 1/4 of the way through.  It is totally a Fear Street novel with graphic sex and gore.  Sure he actually develops the plot a bit, and makes the characters a little bit more real with back stories and what not.  But the prose is identical to a Goosebumps novel.  Which makes it so out of place when a character says, "So how about a blow job?" 

Anyone else read it?    What did you think?  I don't regret reading it and really look forward to the rest of it, but I still cannot help shaking my head every time sex or gore pops up.  It would be like Jim Henson directing the next Saw movie.

I didn't think I'd ever see this mentioned online.

I read it years ago, before I even entered high school. I'd gone through all of Goosebumps and Fear Street and was excited to find something else by Stine. I was also excited because I could jerk off to it.

And that's all that's good about the book - a 12-year-old can jerk off to it. The story is lame; Stine's only good at writing stuff for teenagers and preteens.

He wrote many stories other than Goosebumps.

Many of them were marketed towards teens, yet had sex in them.

When I was a preteen, I checked out like 5 of them at a time from the library.

Good times.
