A playful, tongue-in-cheek anthology that dramatizes urban legends with deliberate ambiguity, treating folklore as entertainment rather than truth.

Our Urban Myths are stories that have been passed down over time and have now become part of urban folklore. But are they true? We take a slightly tongue in cheek, mischievous – and deliberately ambiguous – look at what might have happened...
