Synopsis

From R. L. Stine, the master of horror for young listeners, comes three chilling novellas, all set in the small town of Hollow Hills.

Tony has a love of old comics… but when he goes poking around where he doesn’t belong, will he find himself discontinued? Kylie is thrilled to have a summer job at the local pet store… but will the store’s more gruesome creatures rub off on her? Teddy knows his new substitute teacher has a monstrous secret… but will telling the truth mean risking Mr. Howell’s wrath?

Laced with Stine’s signature humor and a hefty dose of nightmarish fun, Stinetinglers 4 is perfect for fans of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark and Stine’s own Goosebumps books who want even more scares. These chilling tales prove that Stine’s epic legacy in the horror genre is justly earned. One thing’s for certain, the residents of Hollow Hills are in for a handful of horrors… they just don’t know it yet.

Goodreads review by Mallory on June 28, 2025

Unlike the previous collections this one is made up of novellas. They all take place in the same small town and some of the characters appear in more than one of them. I listened to the audiobook and I really liked the narration. The narrators did a great job bringing the characters to life. My favo......more

Goodreads review by Austin on September 03, 2025

Another mediocre outing from Stine. But this is also coming from the perspective of someone who's read the majority of his fiction, at this point - and is only seeing constant retreading of story ideas already done before. The Stinetinglers series as a whole feels a bit underwhelming, with this entr......more

Goodreads review by Cristy (Quinnbook) on August 23, 2025

I have read all of the Stinetinglers books and this is one of my favorites. I love how Mr. Stine gives us three spooky novellas filled with his signature spookiness.

Quotes

Praise for The Stinetinglers series:

"It’s easy to see why R.L. Stine is beloved by generations... The author delivers another set of thrilling stories for kids who want to be scared…but not too scared. ­..Ideal for spooky season class read-alouds or for lessons on character development and plot, [this] offers the ­perfect mix of laughter and suspense. Stine’s fans will not be disappointed, and readers will ­devour this volume in no time." —School Library Journal (starred)

“Aiming for the younger end of his fan base, the author keeps the explicit ick and ichor to a minimum and makes personal connections with introductory notes confiding some of the fears or incidents that inspired each story. The atmospheric headpiece vignettes set properly ominous tones.” —Kirkus Reviews

“In these 10 darkly humorous short stories, Stine delivers bite-size frights…Stine’s collection…is a harrowing look at myriad current real-life horrors plaguing tweens, and foregrounds the idea that, more often than not, one must be brave enough to save oneself.” —Publishers Weekly
