‘Goosebumps’ author R.L. Stine says publisher made ‘woke’ edits behind his backBy Lee Brown

Kids’ horror author R.L Stine has denied sanitizing his classic “Goosebumps” books to “appease the woke” — accusing his publisher of altering his work behind his back.
The 79-year-old horror author spoke up after The Times of London claimed that he had “censored over a dozen of his books” to avoid mentions of race or calling characters fat or crazy.
“This story is false. I have never changed a word in a Goosebumps book,” Stine stated firmly to a report accusing him of “re-editing the books to appease The Woke.”
Instead, the changes were made behind his back, Stine said in response to an angry reader who accused him of being “shameful” for supporting censorship.
