Book Reviews of The Campfire Collection: Ghosts, Beasts, and Thing That Go Bump in the Night
Book Review: Good idea/ So-So execution: Stories vaguely linked to camping
Summary: 3 Stars
I think that Ms. Duane had a good idea, but simply didn't invest much effort in selecting stories. Frankly, even some Bret Hart (like Poker Flat) would have been better than some. I did like Xenos beach (now how does a Greek beach vacation relate to campfires??). Waziah by Joe Lansdale is a very good story about Sasquatch -- so that made sense. But "death to the easter bunny" was not funny or scary... it was just disturbing. They even put in a prologue to a obscure novel about wolves.
We camp a lot with our kids and I think thatWestern Ghosts (American Ghosts)
Western Ghosts (American Ghosts) by Frank McSherry, Charles Waugh and Martin Greenberg is much better for the old campfire.
Summary of The Campfire Collection: Ghosts, Beasts, and Thing That Go Bump in the Night
The thinking outdoorsman's handbook to the heebie-jeebies, this second volume of our Campfire Collection offers up terrifying tales sure to make the sturdiest of campers run for the hills. Perfect to read out loud around a fire or in the comfort (and relative safety) of a cozy armchair, Ghosts, Beasts, and Things That Go Bump in the Night includes both fact and fiction, capturing the dark side of the great outdoors. From Paul Bowles's Allal to H.G. Wells's The Valley of the Spiders, these stories cause pulses to quicken and palms to sweat. Designed with rounded corners, a durable cover, and large type for easy reading by campfire or flashlight, it's a rugged companion, trail-ready for any excursion.United States Books
