Red Rain cover

A chilling and bloody tale for older readers from the master of horror, R. L. Stine.

But Lea's own children sense something strange and wrong about the boys and their innocent, oddly old-fashioned ways - and soon after they arrive, a terrible accident takes place on their doorstep.

As more grisly and suspicious events take place, the boys' true origins - and their evil intentions - become terrifyingly clear.

When Lea Sutter visits the Caribbean island of Chat Noir and witnesses a devastating earthquake, she is moved to adopt two beautiful, blue-eyed orphan twins, Daniel and Samuel, and take them home to America. But Lea's own children sense something strange and wrong about the boys and their innocent, oddly old-fashioned ways - and soon after they arrive, a terrible accident takes place on their doorstep.

As more grisly and suspicious events take place, the boys' true origins - and their evil intentions - become terrifyingly clear.

Red Rain is a slam-bang, stay-up-all-night, leave-the-lights-on thriller. R.L. Stine has scared out kids for years. Now it's our turn . . . -- Harlan Coben
This is a sophisticated thriller with real characters, crisp writing, and a wicked sense of humour. Keep this book far, far away from your kids. -- Douglas Preston
Ready to be haunted by the master? Red Rain proves he's got nightmares for us all -- Brad Meltzer
Leave the lights on and the door locked. R.L. Stine is now scaring the bejeezus out of grown-ups. Red Rain will put goose bumps on even the toughest adult -- Kathy Reichs
[T]he pacing couldn't be more perfect as the plot unwinds at a steady speed that maintains plausibility. Stine has written a really scary book, where seemingly impossible situations occur, yet, somehow, he makes them believable * Huffington Post *
