The Watkins Book of Urban Legends provides fascinating insight into contemporary legends and is the only book to examine the effect social media has had on the spread of folklore and modern mythologies.
Neil Philip, author of The Watkins Book of English Folklore has nothing but praise: “Over the past half century the study of urban or contemporary legends – those spooky, unsettling stories that so often happened to “a friend of a friend” – has become a thriving area of folklore research. Gail de Vos is one of its leading scholars, equally at home with oral transmission or the internet. She writes with a light, entertaining, and personal touch, but always from a deep well of knowledge and insight.”
