This book is pretty cute, but not scary. I don't think it was meant to be scary. I found it rather dry, though, as it discussed the roots of different urban legends. I have another book, "Urban Legends : 666 Absolutely True Stories That Happened to a Friend...of a Friend of a Friend," by Thomas J. Craughwell that I like much better. It just lists the urban legend in its various forms and is more interesting than this book. The book I mentioned also has a lot of the same urban legends that "Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid" does. I'd recommend getting the other book.
