ILP: Still Afraid of the Dark - An Evening with R.L. Stine
--- Tuesday, February 24
--- 7-8pm; Online via Zoom
Witty, creepy, and compulsively readable, bestselling author R.L. Stine defined horror for a generation of young readers. The generation that grew up with the Goosebumps franchise may be grown but Stine keeps finding ways to keep us afraid of the dark! Join us with "The Guinness Book of World Records"’ most prolific author of children’s horror novels, R.L. Stine, to discuss his illustrious and still-expanding body of work.
Becky Spratford, acclaimed horror maven and editor of "Why I Love Horror: Essays on Horror Literature", will join R.L. Stine in conversation.
Participants will need to register to receive the link to the conversation. Register online at bit.ly/ILPStine. Registration will close at 5pm on Tuesday, February 24. Registrations received after the deadline will remain pending and will be processed after the live event, ensuring that those who missed the cutoff will receive the event recording.
