Although people instantly remember the joy of reading these books, no one really questioned why one of the most prolific authors of the 90&#8217;s was no longer on bookstore shelves. Other authors have stepped up to make young adult horror novels, but none have truly captured the feeling of creepy amusement parks (<em>One Day at HorrorLand<\/em> or\u00a0the\u00a0<em>Fear Street: Fear Park<\/em> trilogy) or killer piano lessons (<em>Piano Lessons Can be Murder<\/em>) quite like Stine. Now one has to scour eBay, yard sales, and used bookstores in hopes of finding worn copies of their childhood favorites.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Finally in 2014 R.L.

This book encapsulated all the atmosphere, twists, and turns of the original series. Aside from the question of why the Fear family hasn&#8217;t been run out of town because of all the murders\/&#8221;accidents&#8221;\/drama from many of the previous novels, the story is fun and you can&#8217;t help but be drawn into the detailed descriptions and action.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">I will admit that this book is a little tame to the grittier, sexier young adult novels of late, but I personally like that. It is about escapism and a fantasy where life is about finding sweet teenage love as opposed to quickies, the harsh realities of life, and hard partying. Sure, one can strain to predict the twists and reveals from chapter to chapter and find the familiar formula from all Stine&#8217;s works, but if you understand the point of the novels, you can enjoy the book for what it is: just a fun read.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">I would rate this book 4\/5 stars in relation to the previous\u00a0<em>Fear Street<\/em>\u00a0series books. Although the book is a little tame and the characters not as flushed out as they could be, it is a great quick read with an intriguing adventure. I look forward to the new\u00a0<em>Fear Street<\/em> series and hope that the future releases will be even better!<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2658a06f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2658a06f\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1d820f84\" data-id=\"1d820f84\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2bbd48ff elementor-post-navigation-borders-yes elementor-widget elementor-widget-post-navigation\" data-id=\"2bbd48ff\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"post-navigation.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post-navigation\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post-navigation__prev elementor-post-navigation__link\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/thehorrorofbeingemily.com\/blog\/silly-symphony-the-skeleton-dance\/\" rel=\"prev\"><span class=\"post-navigation__arrow-wrapper post-navigation__arrow-prev\"><i class=\"fa fa-angle-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><span class=\"elementor-screen-only\">Prev<\/span><\/span><span class=\"elementor-post-navigation__link__prev\"><span class=\"post-navigation__prev--label\">Previous<\/span><span class=\"post-navigation__prev--title\">Silly Symphony &#8211;
