"Urban Legends is a meticulously curated anthology of the contemporary myths that circulate through workplaces, college dorms, and every other setting where stories are shared that stem from our deepest fears and obsessions.
Every society has its own folklore, and ours is no exception. However, instead of featuring gods and goddesses or royalty, our tales revolve around acquaintances of acquaintances or individuals waking up in mysterious motel rooms. These stories allegedly happened to real people, often in recent times and specific locations. They strike a chord with our innermost fears through unexpected twists, shocking details, and cautionary messages learned the hard way.
From the iconic narrative of The Mexican Pet, where a dog is not what it seems, to the unsettling account of condoms masquerading as fast-food toppings, from skilled kidney thieves to experiments gone awry, Urban Legends presents over 300 of the most captivating, eerie, and unforgettable stories. Expertly crafted, these tales are categorized into chapters such as Crazy Little Thing Called, Oh, Scare Me, Campus Capers, Corporate Convolutions, and So Much For Comfort Food.
Enthralling, spine-chilling, and at times revolting, Urban Legends features all your beloved stories and countless more waiting to be discovered."
