Traveller’s Guide to Urban Legends: A Map of Macabre Myths
Pack your bags and lock your doors. The Traveller’s Guide to Urban Legends maps out a world of macabre modern myths, taking you on a thrilling journey through the shadows of folklore. If you’ve ever wondered about the truth hiding behind the terrifying whispers told around campfires or shared late at night, this gripping compendium is your ultimate roadmap to the unknown.
First, we unpack the spine-chilling, real-life backstories behind some of history’s most infamous campfire tales—including the panicked babysitter and the man upstairs, the vengeful hook man, the silent killer hiding in the backseat, and the dark truth about Halloween poisoned candy. Then, we hit the road for a terrifying, state-by-state tour across the United States to chart the local phenomena, haunted highways, and bizarre cryptids that define regional American dread. Enter a world where reality bends and nightmares take root… or so the story goes.
