This is the first in the Fear Street Relaunch series. I really like this cover, so I ordered it not really paying attention to if it was the original series or not, not that I care anyway. 
For all intents and purposes honestly this is a young adult take on And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie. At the very least in original concept, it differs from there. Brendan Fear throws his 18th birthday on the island in the center of the town's lake. Then it storms and they don't have access to the boat...some pretty spooky YA mayhem ensues here. 
This book continued with so many twists and tricks that it was just a fun ride from start to finish. The pacing itself kept it a little outside the realm of becoming scary overall, but I couldn't put it down. Regardless if this isn't an original, I think Stine's still got it, sometimes you just need a break.
