In addition, this site links to other lists, such as those suggesting picture books for secondary students or books with gay and lesbian characters. Many young adults read almost exclusively from adult works, but they also ask for appropriate booklists. Fortunately, a few are available. In great numbers, devotees of series books spend their off-reading time developing homepages, resulting in several gifts to both fans and researchers. Those who want further contact can write Stine at his snail mail address, also posted at this site.
Many websites appear as cyberspace transients.
Addresses shift, contents change, and homepages disappear with never a parting word. Offering a comprehensive overview of the series and a brief annotation for each entry, this site served both readers and collectors. Like series fans, genre devotees also have a strong presence on the Web. Like a continuing soap opera, the plot and characters need constant updating, and special links fill readers in on the background and personalities of both the superheroes and their story settings. Although some full-text books, such as those classics reproduced through the Gutenberg Project, appear on the Web, more often browsers will find excerpts designed to whet the reader's appetite.
