Curses! Broiled Again! by Jan Harold Brunvand

Urban legends are those bizarre but believable stories about batter-fried rats, spiders in hairdos, Cabbage Patch dolls that get funerals, and the like that pass by word of mouth as being the gospel truth. But of course, though often told as having happened to a FOAF (friend of a friend), they aren't true. Included in this collection are legends about sex, horror, cars, business, and academia. Among them are The Bible Student's Exam, The Pregnant Shoplifter, The Ice Cream Cone Caper, Don't Mess with Texas, and Mrs. Fields' Cookie Recipe.
Jan Harold Brunvand lives in Salt Lake City, where he is professor emeritus at the University of Utah. He is the author of numerous books, including The Vanishing Hitchhiker; The Choking Doberman; The Baby Train; Too Good to Be True; and Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid.
