About book The Haunting Hour: Chills In The Dead Of Night (2002)

November 20134★I've been reading some of R. L. Stine's books in between my reading of Dracula (over halfway read and liking it). Nightmare Hour I've read a little over half of. And now I've just finished Haunting Hour. These both are short stories with a Stine's horror imagination. It's even more haunting for me because of Stine's added commentary before each story. It seems that most of his horror stories originate from "What if?". They're all suspenseful and a mix of horror. Just not sure the age he was going for. His characters were all between the ages of 14 to 16 y.o. And some of the things that happen to them are pretty gruesome, i.e. heads decapitated, near or complete possession by ghosts, etc. I do still like Stine though. He writes in such a way that keeps me wanting to read more.What started me in reading these short stories was for the nostalgia. I read a lot of his books a couple decades ago. I remembered them as being a little haunting and very suspenseful. Turns out that I still feel that way about Stine's works today. I started off by trying the short stories in the Nightmare Hour book. They're good, but I've enjoyed the short stories in Haunting Hour more.

This book is my favorite book of all the R.L. Stines I love this book a lot it has 10 breath taking and grip grapping stories that catches your intrest in one sentence. At the end of the each story what makes me love it more is it leaves a hook and is just a little more scarier than goosebumps. It lets the reader think what happened and why is this certain character did what they did. One of my favorite stories in the book was a Halloween Party. A boy who is about 13 years old has a little sister who is also having a halloween party at the house. He sneaks out with his best friend and while crossing the street they see a white light and they wake up in a graveyard strange right? They meet ghouls, ghosts, and all mystical creatures in this haunted mansion. They have a dance that makes them grow older? man what is happening to the boys and what was the white light? Would they ever be younger again? or older? maybe a little too young.

Until today, I'm thankful for founding this book by accident in a local bookstore, that weren't meant to sell imported books. It was slipped under a pile of other horror-themed books, and caught my attention immediately. not really because of the title, but for R.L. Stine. If I can recall, he doesn't write collective-story book like this one.And I can sense that this is indeed a more mature book other than other classic Goosebumps. My favorite story from the book would be, "My name is not Martin", if I'm not mistaken. I'm not really sure what's the exact title, but it was about the kid in the hospital, and the other would be "My Imaginary Friend" which I think is never like any imaginary friend-themed story, as far as I can remember. I must say, Im not really easy on western horror stories, they're just not scary compared to Eastern especially Indonesia's, but this one really gave me some paranoid nights and day after reading it. A well done job, Stine.

the book is really good and i love how huanting it is.it has so many scary storys that make the book interasting.the author of the book is one of my favorite authors.i love the way he makes the reader think in the book for example"i will never fell warmth again"in this quote it explains how the girl is explaining what she is feeling witch makes the reader think why is she feeling this way.the haunting hour is almost one of my favorite books and i do recommend it.and thats my summary for the haunting hour.
—Gabriel Robinson

I enjoy reading the book however I thought there could be more descriptive words that would make the book more thrilling because this is suppose to be a scary book. The book isn't one of R.L.Stine's most scariest stories, I think there are books that he wrote that are more enjoying because of the element of surprise and fear. I thought it was a quick read, I got into the book and time just flew by and I am done with the book. I think people that enjoy reading R.L.Stine's book and scary/mysterious books would enjoy this book as well.
