‘We Were Liars’ Twist Is Horror Icon R.L. Stine’s All-Time Favorite

[Warning: The following contains MAJOR spoilers for We Were Liars.]

You heard it here first: We Were Liars has the best twist that horror icon R.L. Stine has ever read.

The Goosebumps author exalted E. Lockhart’s 2014 novel in our New York Comic Con 2025 studio on October 12, saying that the twist is so good, it will leave you “sobbing.” The book was adapted into a Prime Video mystery drama of the same name earlier this year, and it doesn’t change any details from the twist in the novel.
