There is a long custom of people telling eerie stories in the dark of the night, probably going back to when men first tamed fire. The Curse of the Campfire Weenies continues that tradition with David Lubar's collection of weird and sometimes funny tales for readers young in age or spirit. From official release/information:
Book Description: A boy discovers the answer to one of the great urban mysteries: why are pigeons always pooping in parks? A second-grade class learns why they should always be nice to their math teacher. An ancient predator uses the Internet to search out its prey. A young girl and her little brother escape a campfire weenie only to encounter something even more terrifying: a troupe of Girl Scouts singing campfire songs.
