Finished November 7, 2013
November 2013 4★ I've been reading some of R. L. Stine's books in between my reading of Dracula (over halfway read and liking it). Nightmare Hour I've read a little over half of. And now I've just finished Haunting Hour. These both are short stories with a Stine's horror imagination. It's even more haunting for me because of Stine's added commentary before each story. It seems that most of his horror stories originate from "What if?". They're all suspenseful and a mix of horror. Just not sure the age he was going for. His characters were all between the ages of 14 to 16 y.o. And some of the things that happen to them are pretty gruesome, i.e. heads decapitated, near or complete possession by ghosts, etc. I do still like Stine though. He writes in such a way that keeps me wanting to read more. What started me in reading these short stories was for the nostalgia. I read a lot of his books a couple decades ago. I remembered them as being a little haunting and very suspenseful. Turns out that I still feel that way about Stine's works today. I started off by trying the short stories in the Nightmare Hour book. They're good, but I've enjoyed the short stories in Haunting Hour more.
