Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fascinating book uncovers the history behind urban legends and explains how the contemporary iterations of familiar fictional tales provide a window into the modern concerns—and digital advancements—of our society. What do ghost hunting, legend tripping, and legendary monsters have in common with email hoaxes, chain letters, and horror movies? In this follow-up to Libraries Unlimited's Tales, Rumors, and Gossip: Exploring Contemporary Folk Literature in Grades 7–12, author Gail de Vos revisits popular urban legends, and examines the impact of media—online, social, and broadcast—on their current iterations. What Happens Next? Contemporary Urban Legends and Popular Culture traces the evolution of contemporary legends from the tradition of oral storytelling to the sharing of stories on the Internet and TV. The author examines if the popularity of contemporary legends in the media has changed the form, role, and integrity of familiar legends. In addition to revisiting some of the legends highlighted in her first book, de Vos shares new tales in circulation which she sees as a direct result of technological advancements.

Book excerpt: ★A BOOK THAT BRINGS YOU CLOSER TO THE REAL WORLD OF FAIRIES★ Since 2004, sisters Natalie and Susan Hajjar have had an extraordinary connection with a group of Elves known as the Elves of Fyn. Growing up, both sisters felt connected to other worlds, but neither gave the fairy realm or Elves much thought until they burst into their lives, making their presence known through a series of showy events and mischief. In this fascinating book, you will learn how the sisters went from not even thinking about fairies, to knowing about them in great detail. You will also get to know Mr. E, the kind and generous spokesperson for the Elves of Fyn, who is an important contributor to the book. After discovering how much misinformation existed about the fairy realm and those who live there, the sisters and Mr. E wanted to let the fae residents speak for themselves through Susan’s ability to channel. In this book, fourteen fae beings from beyond our world came forward to speak of their lives and their people. With the perfect combination of Susan’s channeling, Natalie’s interviews, and Mr. E’s insight, this book creates an amazingly accurate window into their world. It goes beyond all the mystique and falsehoods and offers a rare glimpse into the fascinating world of real fairies!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the master folklorist and sly wit, Jan Brunvand, comes a collection of all-new urban legends. Did your cousin's wife's dentist's daughter go to the tanning parlor once too often and had her insides cooked? Has your husband's brother's nephew teacher try to make a dead rabbit look alive? If so, you've heard—or you yourself may have told—two of the seventy-plus legends in this collection. 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."
