Books like point horror

Point Horror is a series of young adult horror fiction books. The series was most popular among teenaged girls.

The Point Horror series was launched in 1991 by Scholastic Inc, with the publisher re-releasing several of its previous titles under the Point Horror banner. Authors that published under the label of Point Horror includes R.L. Stine, Diane Hoh, Richie Tankersley Cusick, Christopher Pike, and Caroline B. Cooney. The series was notable as Blind Date was one of R.L. Stine's first works and helped launch Stine's career.

After an eight-year absence, Scholastic announced that three new titles would be released in May 2013, with more set to follow later in the year.

While the Point Horror series did not attract much serious attention, Gillian Avery noted that the series was "invariably structured around oppositions" in that teen horror novels "does not 'put an end to the opposition between the real and the imaginary' but, instead, affirms the distinction". Roy Fisher wrote that the series embodied and represented "the fears and anxieties of young people about their lives in general and about school in particular". Others noted the series' similarity to Stephen King, saying that there "was little difference between the approach and design... other than length".
