The ‘Goosebumps’ book franchise was my introduction to horror as a very small child and as I grew a bit, I got really into R. L. Stine’s ‘Fear Street’ collection. In 2014, after a 15 year hiatus, ‘Fear Street’ returned! Now, Stine’s newest novel gets its cover art released. In ‘The Wrong Girl” “Poppy Miller swears she will get payback for Jack Sabers’s cruel prank that humiliated her in front of all her friends. Then her classmates start turning up dead.
