Super fun, easy read. Read some Urban Legends I know and love, some I'd never heard, and some that I truly thought were just jokes or classic scary stories, but apparently people actually think they're true? Craziness.

Also, all of the earwigs in the brain, spiders in the hair, and cats in the microwave seriously creeped me out.

Very good read.

I'm a sucker for a good urban legend, and, while some of the stories in this anthology are not the best, it is still an enjoyable and comprehensive collection.

Fun and funny. Just what the title and subtitle say. Nearly 500 pages of oral tradition, about two pages per story. Some are quite hysterical -- people actually BELIEVE THIS STUFF?!
