We’re kicking off Fear Month with a cracker to coincide with the weekly release of the Fear Street trilogy. Here, we chat to R. L. Stine (!!) about scaring multiple generations of kids, his own spooky childhood stories, and being a 90s icon. All in this episode with Alexei Toliopoulos and Gen Fricker.
