Urban Legend (ur/ben lej/end) n. a fictional story, circulated by word-of-mouth, that is perpetuated by the continual assertion of truth.
All the rumors that have passed through office e-mail networks, the fantastic stories that have "happened to a friend" and the horrifying tales told around campfires are gathered here for the first time in one fascinating, unbelievable collection.
Organized by subject, chapters include: Naked at His Own Surprise Party and Other Sexual Escapades, The Stolen Kidney and Other Medical Disasters, The Gulf War Computer Virus and Other High Tech Scares, Roswells' Area 51 and Other Extraterrestrial Encounters, Elvis' Motorcycle & Other Celebrity Rumors, and many more. Each story runs one-to-two-pages long.
Many of the stories have been told with a different twist--variations are included at the end of each tale.
