Stine, and welcome to the spooky world of "Goosebumps." Have you ever heard strange howls in the middle of the night? Have you ever heard footsteps in the dark—without seeing anyone? Have you seen eerie shadows, with eyes watching you from the darkness, or heard someone calling your name from behind? If so, you should know that strange tingling feeling—the kind that gives you goosebumps and makes you freeze. In these books, ghosts whisper in the attic; terrified children suddenly vanish; scarecrows come to life and wander through the fields; puppets and mannequins have souls and scare people everywhere. Nothing is as it seems. Around every corner, there’s always something—maybe more—waiting to surprise you. Of course, these are fun, mind-bending scary stories. I hope you’re scared, but I also hope you laugh. These are all made-up stories. But the scariest thing is in your own mind. Have a scary day. --Excerpted from the preface of "I Live Inside the Haunted House" Twin sisters Lindy and Criss play in the backyard of their neighboring house. Lindy accidentally picks up a puppet by the trash can and names it Pop. Pop is very ugly, but Criss doesn’t care, while Lindy is fascinated. She practices talking and doing various actions with Pop every day, and she loves it. Lindy’s impressive performance earns praise from her friends and neighbors, and soon she’ll be on TV. Criss is very jealous and thinks she would perform even better if she had a puppet too. Criss demands that she wants a puppet too, and eventually, she gets one—but strange things start happening too: someone is fighting in the house at midnight, food is scattered in the kitchen fridge at night, and then a series of eerie events occur. What’s going on?

She tells her friend Aaron about it, but Aaron doesn’t believe her. She also tells her brother Randy
