The Campfire Collection: Spine-Tingling Tales to Tell in the Dark

Rating:
Summary: Big disappointment
Review: On the front of this book it says "spine-tingling tales to tell in the dark". I guess it is spine tingling if you were frightened to read The Cat In The Hat!! I stuck with reading the book to the end thinking that surely there must be a scary story somewhere there. I was wrong. Just a waste of money and time for this book.

Summary: boring from front to end
Review: This book was so droll. The adjectives describing this book were so off base. It was not spine-chilling.The only decent story in the book was about a bear attack. Why not just state that the book covers outings of misfortunes. What a waste of money and time. I was very disappointed.

Summary: Buy It, Pack It and Enjoy
Review: This is exciting stuff. After seeing the Amazon reviews, I couldn't resist writing. Those who found it boring, need to bring a television or vcr on their camping trips. (Heavey in the backpack, eh?) Good storytelling puts the imagination of the listener to work. The wonderful, descriptive language of all these scary tales lets you do just that. This collection is what storytelling around the campfire at night under the stars should be about.

Summary: BORING !
Review: This is NOT about stories about scary campouts but mountain climbers and others events that are not even scary. I would not read ANY of these stories at a campout !

Summary: For Real Readers
Review: This is not horror or gory mayhem so those campers seeking bloody thrills stay clear. This is a collection of beautifully written, scary STORIES about survival in the outdoors as well as the awesome mysteries of the natural world. Tension, drama, detailed settings, and realistic emotions will make the evenings around the campfire become as satisfying as the day's trek, or climb.
