Goosebumps is a series of children's horror fiction novellas by R. L. Stine. 62 books were published under the Goosebumps umbrella title from 1992 to 1997; the first was Welcome to Dead House; the last was Monster Blood IV. The cover illustrations for this series was done primarily by Tim Jacobus.[1]
Some of the books were reprinted in 2003–2004 with slightly altered covers. A reprint series unofficially referred to as "Classic Goosebumps" reprinted 22 Goosebumps books from 2008 to 2011 with new artwork and bonus features such as interviews with the author; ten more books were given a similar treatment in 2015 and four more in 2018 for a total of 36 books in the "Classic" reprint series. Of these, 32 are from the original series, three (Attack of the Graveyard Ghouls, The Haunted Car, and Bride of the Living Dummy) are from Goosebumps 2000, and one (Please Don't Feed the Vampire) is from Give Yourself Goosebumps. 10 books were also made into comic books under the title Goosebumps Graphix. These were released in 4 groups: Creepy Creatures, Terror Trips and Scary Summer. The last book was 4 Goosebumps books in one called Slappy's Tales of Horror.
There were also two hardcover reprint collections: Goosebumps Collection and Monster Edition. Nine books were released under the Goosebumps Collection title and were split into three groups: Living Dummy Collection, Campfire Collection, and Monster Blood Collection. Another 12 books were released under the Monster Edition title and were split into four groups, the first three of which were simply numbered while the fourth was called Fright Light Edition. 57 of the books were reprinted with original artwork, all except for #24, #47, #60, #61, and #62.
