Distinct leaning toward ghost stories; not suitable for Boy Scout campfires, with perhaps an exception or two. Uninspiring.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.

The most loathsomely non-terrifying book of campfire stories I have ever read. None of the stories are terrifying, and even the sensical ghost stories appeal to humor or sweetness or nobility. This is a plodding and jejune work--there is nothing in it that has not already been better said somewhere else--and is a pathetic reminder of how watered-down Boy Scouts is becoming. Ugh.

An excellent resource for Scouts, Scouters, and anyone who is about to sit around a campfire. Short, easy-to-grasp stories fill the pages and several are of sufficient depth to entertain kids and adults alike.
