This book is chock-full of all your favorite gruesome (and hilarious) urban-legends -- they're all here: Mikey and the pop rocks, the baby-in-the-oven, and of course, the chicken-fried-rat -- I get spine-tinglin' shivers just thinkin' about them! It's the perfect page-turner and great for slumber parties, camp fires and weenie-roasts (just be sure to check the meat!)...

My students loved this book, and the two others in this series. We did a unit on folklore, and these "modern" legends really brought the topic to life for them. Thanks to the publisher for bringing these out.

I met the person who wrote this book on a plane and she gave me her book. I loved it! I let my friend burrow it and he loved it and we have another friend who wants to read it now. I would read this book again. I would like to say thank you ot the author of the book.

I like R.L.Stine books and this book was like that but it was stories like that. I would tell you if you like R.L>stine books that you would like to read this and look at the pictures.

I'm a fan of urban legends, and have read Dr. Brunvan's books, so I picked this up for my son. We had a good time reading it (its gross in some parts, but he didn't mind!) also has an chapter by Dr.Brunvan. I'd recommend it.
