Point Horror

"Point Horror" was a huge series of YA horror fiction, written by many well-known American authors such as R. L. Stine, Caroline B. Cooney, Diane Hoh, Carol Ellis, Auline Bates, Lael Littke, Barbara Steiner, D. E. Athkins, Sinclair Smith and Richie Tankersley Cusick. The Point Horror series became increasingly popular in the mid nineties in the UK. The complete Nightmare Hall collection by Diane Hoh is very sought after in the UK as the last few books in the series were not released there. The Forbidden Game Trilogy by L. J. Smith, too is extremely sought after in the UK

In 1996, another series of Point Horror books was released, entitled "Point Horror Unleashed", written by British authors like Celia Rees and Andrew Matthews.

Note: Please bear in mind this is far from a complete list, there are about 200 books in the series. More books are being added as time goes on and more are found, however.
