Find the best selection of Goosebumps books at Barnes & Noble. The children’s horror series by author R. L. Stine has been entertaining young readers since the first classic Goosebumps book was published in 1992. Welcome to the Dead House is a tale about a sinister town where the undead feed off the life force from the living. After the initial book's quick rise in popularity, Stine went on to write several more books for the original series as well as Goosebumps sub-series including Goosebumps Series 2000, Goosebumps HorrorLand, Goosebumps Hall of Horror, Goosebumps Most Wanted and most recently, Goosebumps SlappyWorld.

The Goosebumps book series is a great way to introduce kids to spooky stories. Although Goosebumps books are considered a form of horror, they are also lighthearted and funny. The amusing children’s series does not need to be read in order, because each book contains a standalone story about its own unique characters. Whether your child is into reading about monsters and ghosts or vampires and werewolves, the Goosebumps series will deliver.

Despite being part of the horror genre, Goosebumps books are not overly scary, so kids will enjoy them. In the 1990’s, Goosebumps was made into a television series with 68 episodes and in 2015, it became a major feature film starring Jack Black. In 2023, a new Goosebumps live action TV series was released on Disney+ and Hulu. Whether you’re looking for the classic Goosebumps collection or new Goosebumps books, browse online, download the eBook or audiobook versions, or visit your local B&N store to explore the books in person.
