Critic reviews

Praise for The Stinetinglers series:

“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

“Stine’s latest collection is unsettling, and the vignettes’ endings will stay with kids long after they’re done, especially since the author does not shy away from an unhappy denouement. However, the horror elements still stay within the bounds of what is expected for this audience… A must-have volume.” —School Library Journal

It's Not Bad

With most series and titles, it can start great then as it goes onward. It's not terrible, but one stories aren't fleshed out like others, and this one proves it. I definitely enjoyed a few, my favorite has to be, "I'm Not Becka." Which if paid attention. The cover of the book may ring a bell.

One thing is the Narration for Mr. Stine. To bad, R.L. Stine wasn't part of it again. Some Narration felt good, others didn't seem like it made the character or characters feel alive and believable.
