Too Good to be True, by Jan Brunvand
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.One of the by-products of the war against terrorism is the revival of urban myths. Tales of Muslim gentlemen advising kindly passers-by not to go shopping on a particular day have been circulating for weeks. So Brunvand's vast collection of modern urban legends couldn't be more timely.

So Brunvand's vast collection of modern urban legends couldn't be more timely. Arranged by subject, so you can dive straight in and renew acquaintance with the hairy-armed hitch-hiker, this is a book of modern folklore in the making: gruesome, but strangely reassuring.
