Anya, goddess of anarchy, daughter of Lawlessness, and dealer of disorder, stood on the edge of a crowded dance floor.

She wasn’t ready to admit it, but she wanted to be kept. Throw in a pyscho mother in law and a deranged ex there was plenty to keep me engaged.

It explores the components of this new paradigm: The diversity of intelligence, the power of imagination and creativity, and the importance of commitment to our own capabilities.

Stine cites Tales from the Crypt (published by EC Comics) as a source of inspiration, even though the series isn't nearly as gory and violent as the comics. It was The Twilight Zone for pre-adolescents, with a twist at the end of every book (sometimes cruel, sometimes not, sometimes non-existent, which is a twist in and of itself given the series). The original Goosebumps series lasted for all of 62 books, including such famous titles as The Haunted Mask (which was also the first episode of the TV adaptation, shown as an hour-long special episode), Welcome to Camp Nightmare, the Night of the Living Dummy series (there were three in the original series, but the other spin offs and successor series have had at least one story with Slappy as the antagonist), and the Monster Blood series (the fourth and last of which is the final book in the original series). It was through this simple idea that one of the most successful and controversial pre- Harry Potter-era children's book series began. Stine had an idea: "Why not write scary books for children?"
