A Stroll down memory lane, The Art of Goosebumps by Sarah Rodriguez Is a classic coming together of old and new featuring tons of fun facts about the series alongside a walkthrough of all books and covers in the Goosebumps collections In the summer of 1992, Scholastic tasked two terrifyingly talented artists with creating the cover paintings for the books that would premiere the Goosebumps series.
