Goosebumps House of Shivers is a series of Goosebumps books written by R.L. Stine. The first book, Scariest. Book. Ever., was released on September 19, 2023.
The books are divided into three parts, with each chapter being titled − a series first. The books also lack wrap-up segments which were previously used since Goosebumps HorrorLand.
The new cover template (designed by Maeve Norton) deviates from the main series aesthetic used since 2008, most notably marking the return of the original Goosebumps logo. Other changes include the books' titles being positioned underneath the series logo and R.L. Stine's name being presented in a new font. Brandon Dorman's cover art is retired in favor of new series artist Robert Ball, who implores a more vibrant, less-realistic art style.
