Have you ever got those creepy chain letters through your email? Or have you ever heard a story so weird that gave you the willies, but you just couldn't swallow it, eventhough the storyteller swears up and down that the event happend to a friend-of-a-friend, cousin, aunt, etc..... Not sure about those stories? Now you can look them up in Urban Legends Encyclopedia. You would be surprised at some of the stories you heard as kids/adults that are totally untrue. This book tells you all about each individual story, where it originated, how it got started, and how long the story has been around. A informative book, even if you only want a good laugh, or maybe spook someone yourself!!!!!

This book is interesting if you are like me and like to investigate the scarey to the bizzare urban legends throughout the world, throughout the years this is a good one.
great brief intro to urban legends, written in an encyclopedia style, very interesting and fun.
This book tells about urban legends, very cool book.
This is a good reference to urban legends by listing. Just about every one is covered here. The down side is that none are covered in the depth they could have been. It's a good reference guide, though.
