Still Afraid of the Dark: An Evening with R.L. Stine (Zoom Event)
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.
This event is intended for adults. Please call the Jacksonville Public Library at 217-243-5435 to register.
