The Introduction explains that an “urban legend’ is when “One of your friends starts telling a spooky. She holds a flashlight under her chin as she tells her tale. The story seems to scary to b true…”

The urban legends included in the book fall into four categories: On the Road ( 3 included), Inside the House (4 included), Beauty and the Beast (3 included), and Beyond the Grave (2 included).  I was thrilled to recognize the first legend – The Hook, which has been told and retold since the 1950s.

Trivia about the legends’ basis in fact or beginnings are often included in side bars.
