Awhile back, I released a couple of Goosebumps episode with my buddy, Dan Vorbeck.  Goosebumps books were such a big part of our lives for a good portion of our childhood, but not just for the stories themselves.  Don't get me wrong, R.L.  Stine definitely had a knack for creeping out young adults, but what made the books even better was the artwork on the cover.  Time and time again, I would flip back to the front of the book to admire it, and then resume whatever chapter I was on.  Whether it was the details in the texture of the Haunted Mask, or the sheen on the face of Slappy the Dummy, the artwork of every Goosebumps book was top notch. 

So at the end of 2022, when I had the opportunity to interview the illustrator of all of the original Goosebumps books, Tim Jacobus, you KNOW I couldn't resist.   We had a great conversation just before the holidays, and I am so excited to finally be able to share that conversation with you, right here, on Generation 'S'.
