 * >Great. Now I can never read Goosebumps in the same way again.

I'm sorry. But, at least now others will understand my pain.


 * >I do think at least some of his books were ghostwritten.

The GYG books do show some signs of ghostwritten-ness. All-Day Nightmare was written by Scott Westerfeld, and you can more-or-less tell that that book was written by him. It has some elevated diction and clever word choices. Also, it has a few Westerfeld-isms; such as using the word "bark" in place of the word "shout". (I can't find the blog post where he said this, but Westerfeld said that he really liked the phrase "bark".)

(Also, in court, I don't believe Parachute Press tried to argue that Stine wrote the GYG books.)
