Les légendes urbaines désignent des histoires surprenantes, mais fausses ou non vérifiées, qui circulent dans les sociétés modernes : ainsi, l'anecdote du petit chien mis à sécher dans un four à micro-ondes, la mésaventure du client d'un restaurant exotique qui découvre un os de rat dans la nourriture, la présence inattendue d'alligators dans les égouts de New York... Manifestation contemporaine du folklore narratif, ces histoires brèves et insolites expriment de manière symbolique les peurs et les espoirs d'une modernité en crise.

Ever hear the one about the man who wakes up after a chance sexual encounter to discover he's been involuntarily relieved of one of his kidneys? Or the tiny gift-wrapped box from a recently departed lover that reveals a horrible secret? Everyone knows contemporary legends, those barely believable, often lurid, cautionary tales, always told as though they happened to the friend of a friend. Sometimes we pass them on to others unsure of their truthfulness, usually we dismiss them as mere myth. But these far-fetched legends tell us quite a bit about our deepest fears and fantasies.
