A lawn-care mishap with a supernatural sting

Janet’s accidental damage to a tombstone turns an ordinary chore into the source of a growing threat. Insects and spiders begin appearing wherever she goes, while the possibility that the Bugman has returned gives the attacks a distinctly supernatural edge. The setup combines a familiar childhood mistake with a horror premise built around bugs, arachnids, and revenge. As the tenth entry in the Ghosts of Fear Street middle-grade series, the book places Janet’s predicament within a larger sequence of standalone-sounding scares.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 9–12 interested in horror fiction.
  • Readers who enjoy supernatural threats involving insects and spiders.
  • Those following the Ghosts of Fear Street series.

Book overview

Now with a brand-new look!

A careless mistake makes a girl the target of vengeful bugs in the tenth book in the Ghosts of Fear Street middle grade series from master of horror R.L. Stine.

Janet didn't mean to disturb the Bugman, but she accidentally ran over his tombstone while she was mowing the lawn. Now insects and arachnids attack her everywhere she goes. Wasps, bees, ants--even a huge, hairy tarantula. But Janet is more than bugged out...she's afraid the Bugman is back from the grave and out for revenge.
