Ghosts of Fear Street
Ghosts of Fear Street is a younger version of the Fear Street series, aimed at children ages 8 to 12. In every book, a 12-year-old child (sometimes with their friends or family) has a terrifying adventure in Fear Street, a small street in the town of Shadyside which is known by the kids in the books to have many ghosts and monsters. Every book has a different monster and child. The series was released by the Simon & Schuster imprint Aladdin Paperbacks, and lasted for thirty-six books, released from 1996 to 1998. In August 2009, Simon & Schuster, under their Children's Publishing imprint, began to reissue the books in special two-in-one editions.[8] Despite being published under Stine's name, the books were in fact ghostwritten.[9]
Fear Street Sagas
The 16 books in this series were published by Simon Pulse and Golden Books from March 1996 to January 1999. Two other books, The Raven Woman and Carousel of Fear appeared on advertisements, but were never released. R. L. Stine confirmed via his official Twitter account that neither of these unpublished books were ever written.[10]
