The First Horror (99 Fear Street, No. 1)

I love the stories of the fear street and all the different types of characters. Now I can read them all when I get the money to buy another

Scary book. Top notch. And the parents are actually. . . parents in this book.

Awesome read! I read this story first at age 10.I've just gotten the Kindle edition and I can say at age 31, The First Horror by RL Stine, chilled me to the bone.Just as it did with my childhood self. 10 out of 10. '5 stars' does it little justice.

I'm currently in my 30's, and on a bit of a nostalgia trip. I found a bunch of these old Fear Street books available for Kindle, and figured why not? Fear Street was nearly the only thing I read for pleasure in 4th and 5th grade, and I read a lot (lucky for me that Mr. Stine wrote them so quickly). Lots of memories to mine from here.I'd like to emphasize that I was a Fear Street kid, not a Goosebumps fan. As a child, I liked the teenage characters. They weren't adults, but they seemed just older enough than me that I believed they could be capable protagonists. I also loved that all (eh, most) of Fear Street takes place in a single, evolving location. The town of Shadyside and its infamous street grow more vivid as you read more books and gather more lore. I also liked that the characters seemed to act a lot more believable, for the most part, than the characters in Goosebumps. While every other kid toted around and talked Goosebumps, I was the one rocking Fear Street. I wouldn't change that. Good times.The First Horror held up surprisingly well during my adult read. I'll spare you the plot details, since Amazon already provides a good idea of what the book is about. The prose isn't the greatest, but for 90's Young Adult horror fiction, it's perfectly serviceable. There is a decent amount of gore and a surprising body count.This book (and trilogy) explore the more supernatural side of Fear Street. If you're a kid just starting to read genre fiction, you can't go wrong with The First Horror.Now, on to The Second Horror...

I've loved the fear street books since I was fifteen years old.. And until now hadn't thought of them or seen any for at least 20 years. I'm so happy to reread some old favorites. 🙂

I really enjoyed this book and story very, very much and characters too. It was definitely scary and fun.I really would recommend to be read.

Fear Street has always been a favorite of mine since I was 10 and I'm reminiscent of these stories and rereading them is going to be great. Loved this story.

I remember reading fear street books in middle school and now as an adult they still bring out the anticipation of the next chapter

Excellent book

I loved it, all the description just ...It was was one of the best books I have ever read.AMAZING

Really good!

Ich habe schon wesentlich bessere Bücher aus dieser Reihe gelesen, aber ich muss zugeben, dass ich mich trotzdem sehr gegruselt habe und darum geht es 😀

Book came on time and in perfect condition. This was a great read. From start to finish the book had you guessing what was going on. I would recommend this to any fan of the series
