In the summer of 1992, R. L. Stein reinvented the horror genre. Namely, he made it for kids! The first Goosebumps book released and started a phenomena that would go on to span books, television and movies. Now in partnership with BOOM! Studios, Stein will release a graphic novel entitled Just Beyond: Welcome to Beast Island. The description of the graphic novel reads as follows:

Trips to exotic islands can be more exhausting than relaxing sometimes, and on the island of Mala Suerte, they’re a real beast! Karla and her little brother Benny accompany their Uncle Bill on a scientific expedition to study unidentified species on the remote island, but after a little “bad luck” they soon discover something terrifying and deadly living in the river swamp… With nowhere to run, will Karla, Benny, and Uncle Bill survive the unimaginable and harrowing horrors of the place aptly nicknamed BEAST ISLAND?
