Publisher's Summary

R.L. Stine, New York Times best-selling 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 listeners - listeners 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 listeners who grew up on Goosebumps, and for every fan of deviously inventive horror, this is a must-listen from a beloved master of the genre.

What the critics say

"I picked up R. L. Stine's Red Rain and for the life of me couldn't put it down. From the opening scene - which is plenty shocking - a terrifying and original story unspools that draws the reader in like a moth to flame. The suspense builds to the breaking point and goes beyond...and beyond. This is a sophisticated thriller with real characters, crisp writing, and a wicked sense of humor. Keep this book far, far away from your kids." (Douglas Preston)
"This is the moment I've been terrified of - when R. L. Stine decided he wasn't just going to scare children, but that he would focus his power on frightening the rest of us. Ready to be haunted by the master? Red Rain proves he's got nightmares for us all." (Brad Meltzer)
" Red Rain is a slam-bang, stay-up-all-night, leave-the-lights-on thriller. R. L. Stine has scared kids for years. Now it's our turn...." (Harlan Coben)
