Publisher Description

In his third collection of warped and creepy “weenie” tales, David Lubar, critically acclaimed author and master of the macabre, travels deep into the shadowy corners of his mind to deliver thirty-five stories of laughter and terror to tickle your horror bone.

Learn the real reason why clowns are scary, discover the truth about allergy shots, and find out why you should always be nice to your math teacher. Full of thirsty vampires, hungry insects, evil power tools, singing Girl Scouts, and other terrors, these tales go darker, weirder, and stranger than ever before. And at the end of the book, the author reveals the inspiration behind each of the stories.

"Speculative Fiction for the young, these stories take the "what if?" writing platform into weird places. Some of the stories are funny, but most will play strange games with your mind. I might not reccommend these for very young readers, these stories are nightmare-inducing!"

— Lara (5 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

  • “Like the other ‘Weenies’ books, this third collection contains very brief stories for which the term ‘warped’ is an understatement...This book will talk itself right off the shelves, and reluctant readers will devour it.”

    — School Library Journal
  • “Another cool collection. This would be perfect to read around a campfire—or at any sleepover...creepy, but also hilarious.”

    — Detroit Free Press
