Land of the Lawn Weenies

A compilation of short stories by Louis Sachar. The title of the book comes from one of the short stories featured inside--all of which are childrens' horror stories, some of which are quite...disturbing.

Another compilation following this was called The Land of the Road Weenies.

Tropes Included in the stories:


 * Adult Fear
 * And I Must Scream
 * Body Horror
 * Creepy Child
 * Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: The story with the Shrinking Violet boy who was invited to a party. Pretty much the only non-scary story in the whole book, and the rare one with a happy ending.
 * Fate Worse Than Death
 * Fetish Fuel: Some of the stories can cater to a particular fetish. More than one person found the story with the snake girl to be fetish-y. Then other stories have bondage, vore, hypnosis...
 * Foregone Conclusion
 * I'm a Humanitarian
 * Infant Immortality: Very rarely played straight, and mostly cruelly averted.
 * Primal Fear
 * Our Werewolves Are Different
 * Our Vampires Are Different
 * Transformation Trauma
