By Anna Marie CarrollBooks in Order, Horror Books in Order

When you were a kid, the Goosebumps books were a critical part of any trip to the Scholastic book fair, whether you adored the books or got goosebumps by just looking at the iconic covers. If you’re looking for a nostalgic trip down memory lane, or to pass on this iconic ’90s trend, this is the perfect list for you. Keep reading to find all of the Goosebumps books in order.

What is Goosebumps All About?

The first Goosebumps book was released in 1992 and the series quickly became a global hit. It is a children’s horror series written by R.L. Stine that has become symbolic for most childhoods.

The books see children placed in terrifying situations in which they have to overcome a frightening monster. Most of the original Goosebumps books can be read as standalones as they have self-contained plots. However, the exception to this is when a book has a direct sequel.

The original series had 62 books, but Stine has continued writing many Goosebumps spin-offs, including a new series: Goosebumps SlappyWorld.

Two new installments are expected in the Goosebumps SlappyWorld series in 2022. Slappy in Dreamland, the sixteenth book in the series, is expected be published on March 1, and the seventeenth book in the series, Haunting with the Stars, is expected to be published June 28.

Collectively, Stine has sold more than 400 million books and his books have been translated into 35 languages. Stine’s favorite Goosebumps book is The Haunted Mask, and all of the books that feature Slappy, the evil dummy.

Is There a Goosebumps TV Series?

Yes, the Goosebumps TV show premiered in 1995 and has four seasons. It was a live-action adaptation and featured stars such as R.L. Stine himself, Caterina Scorsone, and Hayden Christensen. You can now watch all of the seasons on Netflix.

Also, a movie adaptation was made in 2015. It stars Jack Black as R.L. Stine and Dylan Minnette as his teenage neighbor. It features 40 monsters and, of course, Slappy from the Goosebumps books.
