R. L. Stine, on his X handle, has already revealed the cover of his book.
One of the most exciting aspects of The Last Sleepover is its return to the classic Goosebumps aesthetic that fans know and love. The cover art, designed by Maeve Norton, features a haunting blue ghost girl with glowing red eyes emerging from a closet. This chilling visual is a deliberate callback to the iconic style of Tim Jacobus, the artist behind the original Goosebumps covers from the 1990s.
Since the series’ revival in 2008, the cover designs have taken a different direction, but The Last Sleepover marks a thrilling return to the eerie, nostalgic look that once sent shivers down readers’ spines. Whether you’re a longtime fan or a newcomer, this cover is sure to grab your attention—and maybe even give you a few nightmares.

Stine has always had a knack for crafting stories that are just scary enough to thrill young readers without crossing into overly frightening territory. With The Last Sleepover, he’s poised to deliver another unforgettable tale that will keep kids (and maybe even adults) turning pages late into the night.
R.L. Stine is a legend in the world of children’s literature, with over 350 million books sold worldwide. The original Goosebumps series, published between 1992 and 1997, became a cultural juggernaut, inspiring a TV series, merchandise, video games, and even feature films. Stine’s ability to tap into the fears and imaginations of young readers has made him a household name and a cornerstone of middle-grade horror.
With the House of Shivers series, Stine continues to build on his incredible legacy. By blending fresh stories with the classic Goosebumps vibe, he’s introducing a new generation to the thrill of his spooky tales while keeping longtime fans hooked.
