Red Rain by R.L. Stine.
Publisher: Touchstone
Release date: October 9th 2012
Ages: Adult.
R.L. Stine, New York
Times bestselling author of the Goosebumps and Fear Street series—the
biggest selling children’s books of all time—delivers a terrifying new
adult horror novel centered on a town in the grip of a sinister revolt.
Before there was J.K. Rowling, before there was Stephenie Meyer or Suzanne Collins, there was R.L. Stine. Witty, creepy, and compulsively readable, he defined horror for a generation of young readers—readers who have now come of age.
Travel writer Lea Sutter finds herself on a small island off the coast of South Carolina, the wrong place at the wrong time. A merciless, unanticipated hurricane cuts a path of destruction and Lea barely escapes with her life. In the storm’s aftermath, she discovers orphaned twin boys and impulsively decides to adopt them. The boys, Samuel and Daniel, seem amiable and immensely grateful; Lea’s family back on Long Island—husband Mark and their two children, Ira and Elena—aren’t quite so pleased. But even they can’t anticipate the twins’ true nature—or predict that, within a few weeks’ time, Mark will wind up implicated in two brutal murders, with the police narrowing in.
For the millions of readers who grew up on Goosebumps, and for every fan of deviously inventive horror, this is a must-read from a beloved master of the genre.

ReplyDeleteOh wow! What a blast from the past! R.L.Stine scared the crap out of me when I was a kid....I'm sure he would do the same now since I am such a wimp when it comes to scary reads. Even the cover freaks me out. :)
