I loved this audiobook. It was very nostalgic for me to listen to these stories. I felt like a kid again as I was listening to this audiobook. I really enjoyed it and would highly recommend either reading it or listening to the audiobook. The narration was top tier.

I loved these short scary stories. The introductions for each story are really neat. I am such a fan of books of short stories. The stories are creepy and a bit scary. They are just perfect for spooky season. I really enjoyed all the stories but some that stuck with me are the two treehouse ones, curse from an imp, monstrous pet fish, and Mary Poppins. I highly recommend this and the series. The narration was awesome! Thank you to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for the audio arc in exchange for my honest review.

I went with the audio for this one too. It had a multi-narrator cast again, mostly tackling the different POVs, and they did a good job.

This is 10 more short stories from the master of middle grade horror. As always, I’m not really sure on the legality of these things, but I’m eternally wondering why all of his stories aren’t under the umbrella of Goosebumps. It’s his signature style anyway, and they all bring to mind GB stories anyway.

These 10 are spooky too, some of which were actually quite a bit scarier than the second book. Particularly the idea of trading bodies with a dead person, where in the story, this zombie kindly asks for 30 minutes inside a living body. You’d still be alive, but you’d shortly live inside their deteriorated zombie-esque body. To me, the ending, and what was left as the consequence, could have been even scarier than the story itself. I’d really have liked to see that become a full novel from Stine, with notes of Attack of the Graveyard Ghouls and (a really) Freaky Friday.

This one unfortunately did not continue on with Stine introducing the shorts. It was a bit jarring to hear someone random do it, and definitely felt like a downgrade. But I’m sure a middle grade reader probably would not notice something like that. Maybe he was too busy?

Spooky, eerie, silly, multiversal, and body changing, these stories from Stine continue to offer interesting and enjoyable places to go for a short while. While I feel like some of these hold back a bit more than Goosebumps did, I’m glad generations to come are getting their intro to Stine.

As I’ve said before - I’m a huge RL Stine and have been since I was a kid. I grew up on Goosebumps and all 3 of these books were nothing short of creepy and amazing!!! I really hope we get more of these!

This was a fantastic collection of horror stories! Lots of fun with some surprise twist endings. Some fear based in the everyday, some not as serious. I enjoyed the authors notes at the beginning telling his inspiration for the next story, it added an extra layer to the fun. The narrators really brought this book to life with their enthusiasm.

It was very cute. Some of the stories fell a little flat but others made up for it. Definitely a fun addition to the Stine-iverse
The narrators all did an amazing job, really brought characters to life.

*received for free from netgalley for honest review* Another great book from RLstine! Love reading these like i read goosebumps as a kid!

"Stinetinglers 3: More Chilling Stories from the Master of Scary Tales" by R.L. Stine is an anthology of ten short stories in the horror genre for children. I enjoyed these as they weren't too scary but edged on it.

I gave a star rating to each story. Then, I averaged the reasons to get my overall rating of 4 stars. I had ratings from 3 to 5. Nothing rated lower than 3 stars. I gave four of the stories 5 stars!

My five-star stories were as follows:
✅️ The Stray Dog - alien story
✅️ The Tree House - ghost story
✅️ Oops! - magic and fantasy
✅️ I'm Not Becca! - zombies and body swapping, most scary

Most, if not all, of the stories are told in the first person, which puts you right into the action. The settings are well described. This was my first time reading R.L. Stine and I am very impressed with his writing skills.

The book is narrated by several readers: Johnny Heller, Katharine Chin, and Torian Brackett. They used the perfect narrator or set of narrators for each story!

I recommend this book for children and for adults who don't like really scary stories, but just a touch of creepiness.

Thank you to Netgalley, MacMillan Audio, MacMillan Young Listeners, and R. L. Stine for providing this audiobook in exchange for my honest review.

Can you ever go wrong with the king of young horror? It was such a fun time giving me all of the nostalgia vibes from when I would read Goosebumps growing up.

Following the layout of "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark" and the "Mr. Shivers" series, Stinetinglers contains short stories to send the tingle up and down your spine. Some of those stories contain more anticipation that others, but they are sure to all be a hit with the younger readers and listeners. Enjoy one, two or all of the thrills while you try to scare yourself while enjoying this new series from the master of middle school scares, R.L. Stine.

I love how these stories end on a cliffhanger of sorts, it makes them more scarier this way.
There were some a loved, some I liked, and a couple that I didn't enjoy. I tried to put myself back in the mindset of 10 year old-Noelle when reading these. I think that I would have had a great time reading these when I was younger. Even as an adult there are a few that stand out.

These are my initial, very brief, thoughts on each story.

1. 👍A short story about middle school werewolves and cliques.
2. 😍 Sometimes your bad luck is just a curse from a little wooden imp.
3. 👎A scientist travels to another dimension and is stuck in the body of a dog.
4. 👍 Experimental monstrous pet fish.
5. 😍 Thanks to a haunted tree house you won’t look at walnuts the same way.
6. 👎A magician’s hat meets Mary Poppins bag.
7. 😍 This magician isn’t evil, he’s just Bad.
8. 😍 Zombie’s night out.
9.👍Don’t go choosing your dreams.
10.👎Guess you never know if someone else is pulling the strings.

I honestly think you can never go wrong with one of RL stones books. I have loved the short stories since I was a kid and still love them now! Even better in audiobook!!! The narrators were wonderful!!!

Stinetingler 3 delivers a collection of short tales aimed at young readers. Each story is crafted to evoke suspense and thrill, featuring a variety of eerie scenarios and unexpected twists.

A mix of creepy and thrilling stories that are sure to entertain fans of Stine's writing and newcomers looking for a quick scare!

This was a fun little collection of short stories. While the Goosebumps etc series are all one story, each chapter in this book is a different story with different characters just like the first 2 in this series. Again, I didn't get a ton of character connection since each one was around 20 pages long, but each chapter felt like it had a complete story.
I felt like there were more I really enjoyed compared to the other 2 books. There weren't any I disliked. They were all very Stine with a little forward from him before each chapter started which was fun. They had the open endings which I love and it felt like you could imagine an ending/sequel yourself. They weren't too scary as the target audience is middle grade, but some of them were definitely spooky.
There were a few different narrators which broke up the chapters and it really did feel like separate stories whereas I think one narrator doing the whole thing would have been a little bit confusing. One of the narrator was a little bit dramatic, but I think as a kid I would have loved that drama. Overall, each of them did a really great job bringing that Stine horror to life and I will gladly gobble up any more books in this series!

I requested this for nostalgia. I am no longer nostalgic.

All the stars every time for R. l. Stine. This is a great little collection of horror stories, and it reminds me how scary kids' stories can be. The body swapping story was the scariest, but those are always really scary to me. Some of them are really funny, like the story about the kid who turns the tables when a magician shrinks him.
I want to thank NetGalley for letting me listen to this audiobook, in exchange for an honest review. I read visually more than I listen to books but this audiobook has the advantage of terrific, convincing narrators portraying the kids and the interesting introductions to each story by Stine. He talks about how you can find these scares everywhere, even your own dreams.

I enjoyed this collection of stories. My son and I listen or read to the RL Stine books together. This one did not disappoint. It's perfect for younger kids that may not have the long attention span. The narrators change with the stories. R L Stine books are perfect to get the scary without being too scary.

Thank you to NetGalley, MacMillan audio and RL Stine for the opportunity to listen to this book.

Stinetinglers has always been a collection of stories that have been entertaining and enjoyable. Even the ones that aren’t great are so cheesy that they’re still fun. R. L. Stine just knows how to entertain. I want adult horror!

I really enjoyed the narrations in each story and liked how different people did different stories. I also liked how R. L. Stine introduced each story.

As a kid and teen I loved R. L. Stine. I am glad to see him writing again for a new generation. This collection was definitely full of nostalgia for me even if all of the stories were brand new. I read the first Stinetingler collection and I think I enjoyed that one more, but I did enjoy this collection. I listened to the audiobook and I do think the narrators did a good job bringing the stories to life. A couple of the stories didn’t feel complete so while there was good potential I wanted something more. The story that had cross reality travel was very good (the narration switches really made this one) but I didn’t care for the ending and felt like there could have been something more that would have made it scarier, as it was the twist didn’t seem at all scary or creepy. I also felt like the fish story didn’t feel finished and didn’t fully tie back to the why this boy who hated rules ended up with these fish. The last third or so I enjoyed a lot more and had me finish this book on a very positive note. The treehouse story was very creepy (who goes back?!) and will stick with me. The body switching story was one of the most creepy of that type I have heard despite this being middle grade. And the dream story was very scary (even if I love the idea of being able to purchase a dream). Overall I definitely liked the collection and highly recommend it for both the young and the young at heart. Overall I gave this one 3.5 stars rounded up for the great nostalgia.

R.L Stine has been a staple in my life for as long as I can remember. When I was younger all I wanted to read was Goosebumps and then when I got older Fear Street was my new love. As an adult, I have even checked out some of his more adult books. Then you take the Goosebumps shows and movies and it seems there has never been a time in my life without R.L. Stine.

Stinetinglers 3 is a collection of short Goosebump like stories. This was more towards a younger audience but I still genuinely enjoyed it. There were ten total but not all ten were created equal. Some were much stronger than others.

I listened to the audiobook and this was excellently narrated. My favorite part was the intro to each story. Stine wrote an intro that was narrated by the hilarious Johnny Heller. I will listen to anything Heller narrates so this was a plus for me.
