Here is a fun campfire book with something for everyone. There are some light stories to tell to the grandkids without invoking nightmares, and some really frightening tales for adults and teens who don't mind sleeping with the light on. One of the most popular stories in the book is Bloody Mary -- a frightening read which explains how an evil witch started haunting the mirrors of America. Other scary tales include One Last Head, Dark Passenger, and Don't Sell My House. Lots of fun!
Spooky Campfire Tales presents an interesting change of pace in S. E. Schlosser's Spooky series. The stories in this book are selected for use around a campfire, they can be either read or retold in an interesting fashion. Among my favorites are: Cow's Head, I Can't Get In, and Never Mind Them Watermelons. "Cow's Head:" tells about a young girl cast out of her home by her stepmother who seeks shelter in a haunted cabin. In "I Can't Get In", a skeleton takes an evening stroll and upon returning to his grave finds that his way back in is blocked. In "Never Mind Them Watermelon's", a man accepts a dare to stay in a haunted log cabin for one night with interesting results.I found this book to be highly entertaining and an enjoyable addition to an evening campfire.
S.E. Schlosser is a well-known author of "Spooky" books, and this one is one of her best! The stories are excellent for any Cub Scout outing, being quite scary and relatively short. Why do I say "Short?" Well, it seems to me that the stories have maximum effect if they are told from memory, rather than read.These stories are great, really hitting the target with listeners of any age. A couple of my favorite stories were The Fifty-Cent Piece, and Screaming Jenny, but I thought that they were all great...as did the boys. We all loved this book and highly recommend it!
I bought this book to put in our camper for family outings. My twin nephews age 5 were both spellbound. I had my daughter 12 and her cousin and best friend 10 & 11 all squirming in their chairs as well. I thought the stories were a great balance of spooky but without being too over the top. Thanks for some great memories and I still have plenty of tales to tell for next time.
The stories are pretty tame but when read to the kids around a camp fire in the woods they're perfect. Just enough to get the imagination going without causing nightmares!
I love the Spooky series. There great short stories that I enjoy reading before bedtime. Sometimes I can read 3 or 4 before falling asleep, or one of the longer ones. There just spooky enough to give a good thrilling read, but not gory.
I've actually had this book for a while and like it pretty okay. The stories are told well enough, but there isn't enough gore and hate in it for me. The reason for purchasing this ditty was to augment material for my podcast-ShatteredPlanet.After reading a couple of the tales I decided that the only way to use any of the material was to ,"embellish" or "trump up" some of the particulars. In a pornographic world this is too soft-core for my liking if truth be told. If you have some teens convened about a campfire I imagine this book would suffice in scaring them though.Look, if you're an adult I recommend anything by Steven King to get the gooseflesh movin',if you're younger this is alright.
purchased this for my 16y/o daughter,she loves them, not the kind of thing that leaves you sleepless for years but just entertaining stories
