Ghosts of Fear Street

Ghosts of Fear Street is a younger version of the Fear Street series by R. L. Stine, 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 lots of 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.^[1]

Despite being published under Stine's name, the books were in fact ghostwritten.^[2]
