Stine has described himself as "a very fearful child," and said that his mother gave him one of his first serious frights by reading Pinocchio. Stine's father worked as a shipping clerk in a warehouse, and his mother stayed home to look after young Robert and his two siblings.
He initially made up jokes and humorous stories, not the spine-tingling tales that later made him famous. Stine began writing stories at the age of 9, using an old typewriter that he found. Stine was born Robert Lawrence Stine in Columbus, Ohio, on October 8, 1943. Beginning in 1992, Stine found international acclaim writing the Goosebumps series, which spurred the creation of additional series and nearly 200 books. He launched his popular Fear Street book series three years later. In 1986, Stine published Blind Date, his first horror novel for young adults. He moved to New York City in the mid-1960s, after graduating from The Ohio State University.
Stine started out writing jokes and funny stories.
