The author wasn't aware of the initial edits though endorses the tweaks.
Earlier this year, reports emerged that author R.L. Stine's iconic Goosebumps series of books had earned edits by publisher Scholastic that he wasn't aware of, and while Stine first debunked the notion that he personally rewrote elements of his stories, he more recently addressed that he supports the changes made by the publisher to make the stories more inclusive.
Some of the changes in the reissues include Bride of the Living Dummy swapping an attack as being called a"love tap" to being referred to as a magic spell, while the book Don't Go to Sleep! has been updated so that the book Anna Karenina is no longer referred to as"girl's stuff" and is now referred to as"not interesting."
"It's not a bad thing to update things if it's done well," the author expressed." took out all the fat jokes because it's not appropriate anymore."
