Adventure Children's Horror Nostalgic 1990s Fiction Supernatural Fiction Short Story Anthology Middle-Grade Horror Spooky Stories
Goosebumps Ten Spooky Stories Special Edition is the ultimate grab-and-go fright fix for fans who want more than one dose of R.L. Stine’s signature twists. This thick, value-packed paperback gathers ten stand-alone tales from the original Goosebumps vault—classic titles such as “The Haunted Mask,” “Night of the Living Dummy,” and “Welcome to Dead House”—so readers can binge creepy campground legends, evil ventriloquist dummies, and cursed Halloween masks in one sitting. Because every story is self-contained, it’s perfect for reluctant readers, classroom read-alouds, or late-night flashlight marathons; finish a chilling arc in twenty minutes, then decide if you dare turn to the next.
What makes this Special Edition collectible is its scarcity in the secondary market: Scholastic only released a limited print run before shifting to thinner, single-story editions. The eye-catching foil cover art and “Ten Spooky Stories” banner instantly signal to millennials that this is the thicker anthology they remember begging for at elementary-school book fairs. Inside, the text is unabridged, preserving every cliff-hanger and ironic punch line that catapulted Goosebumps into the cultural phenomenon it remains today.
Condition-wise, this copy is a solid reader’s grade: pages are crisp, bright, and free of tears or scribbles, while the previous owner’s first name on the inside cover and light corner creasing keep the price affordable for gift-giving, classroom libraries, or nostalgic collectors who want the stories without the premium mint price. Snag it now and relive the ’90s scares—or introduce a new generation to Stine’s kid-safe horror that still makes adults glance twice at their basement stairs.
