Alligators in the Sewer and 222 other Urban Legends by: Thomas J. Craughwell
Non-fiction: pop culture 280 pages 1999
This book is a collection of urban Legends. Most of them were well known, for a few ones that have been around for centuries it was noted when the story started. For everything else there is no information. One or two are based on stories found to be true from other experts on urban Legends and/or modern myths. A number I do not think belong in this book as they are not really urban legends. For example there is a part on aliens that talks about crop circles. Which are real, the only question is who / how they are made. And the part wasn't about stories about how they were made so much as that they are. Over all it is not a book I would recommend.
