Famed children and adult horror author R.L. Stine celebrated his achievement of 130,000 followers on Twitter by giving them an awesome treat for Halloween. He posted a live short horror story on his account today that provided some much needed nostalgia for me as I recalled my endless days reading my favorite Goosebumps novels. It is quite evident Stein still has his wonderfully creep ways of telling stories and the fact he can create one in 140 words is just another reason why we all love him.
