«El fabuloso libro de las leyendas urbanas (vol. I): Demasiado bueno para ser cierto» is Jan Harold Brunvand's compendium of urban legends, in paperback.
The book brings together urban legends told as real, from alligators in sewers and vanishing hitchhikers to rats in fried chicken boxes. Some are comic and others terrifying; all are accompanied by commentary on their origin, sources, and the variants that have circulated over time.
It is the first volume in the Trayectos Lecturas collection; it was published by Alba Editorial in 2002 and the translation is by Manu Berástegui.
It is aimed at those interested in folklore, popular culture, and unusual stories that circulate as true.
Jan Harold Brunvand is an American retired folklorist, researcher, writer, public speaker, and professor emeritus of English at the University of Utah.
