The last reviewer was 100% correct!, Jan 26 2007
By Shana Harrington "Shana162" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Thrilling, Chilling Tales of Alien Encounters: The Campfire Collection (Paperback)
I was very excited to dig into this book. I drew a hot bath and poured a glass of wine as I prepared for a good case of the willies! They were a complete and utter no-show. You'd be mocked until the end of time if you pulled this book out at a campfire. If "Lady in the Water" scared you, you might like this book. If "Signs" is more your style this book will be a disappointment.

Neither Thrilling, nor Chilling., Oct 21 2006
By Amanda "still scared of monkeys" - Published on Amazon.com
I'm scared to death of aliens, and I love nothing more than a good campfire tale, so I was so excited when I found this book. I expected it to be a collection of great, creepy, true-sounding stories, kind of like urban legends, that you could tell to a group of friends to keep them up at night. Boy, was I wrong. It's just a collection of short stories about aliens. Most of them are more sci-fi like than scary. I was expecting stories of the traditional "alien encounter" type, but that's not what's in here. They're not horribly written, just not really what the book promises.The shape of the book is great, though. It's got a sturdy cover, and it's made sort of like a field guide. If it did contain creepy tales to tell around the campfire, it would be perfect to stuff in your backpack. Too bad.
