For the first time in almost a decade, there will be a new adventure on Fear Street. Beloved children’s author, RL Stine, announced back in October that he would be resurrecting his long dead young adult thriller series. Today, Entertainment Weekly revealed the cover art for the first of the new batch of novels, Party Games, which is scheduled to hit stores on September 30.
Stine revealed the premise of Party Games to Vulture in October: “It’s about girl named Rachel, who Brendan Fear invites along with a bunch of other people to the Fear’s summer house on Fear Island, in the middle of a lake. They’re 17, in high school. It’s Halloween time, and they’re reopening the summerhouse just for this party. Brendan invents games, he loves games, and one by one the guests start getting murdered—every murder is attached to a game. One girl is found all folded up and there’s a note that says, ‘Twister, anyone?’ They’re trapped on an island, and there’s a killer there who wants to kill everyone.”
The last Fear Street book was published in 2005 and since then, Stine has focused mainly on Goosebumps, which is targeted at a slightly younger audience than Fear Street. He published his first adult novel, Red Rain last year because his first audience has grown up. The very first Fear Street book, The New Girl was published in 1989, and Goosebumps is celebrating 20 years.
