We like to think that we live in an age of reason and rationality,
that uncertainty and the unknown have largely been eliminated by
technology and science. But it seems that we have nagging doubts.
Continually, we tell each other odd tales about ankle slashers and
hairy-armed women in the shopping mall. We hear about phantom
hitchhikers and headless bikies on the highways. Dreadful things
are reportedly done to small pets at home. tummies explode at work,
garden gnomes take international holidays, and what certain
celebrities do with gerbils should be nobody's business. these
tales are usually called ' contemporary legends' or 'urban myths'.
Given their often macabre subjects, most of us hope they are just
myths, but whether we believe them or not, these stories are
constantly spread around the world by people who apparently believe
them to be true. In this revised edition of 'Urban Myths', author
Graham Seal tracks down over one hundred contemporary Australian
legends guaranteed to fascinate readers with their gruesomeness and
their absurdity.
