That's Bollocks!: Urban Legends, Conspiracy Theories and Old Wives' TalesGathering together all the strangest, sickest, funniest and most unforgettable urban legends, Albert Jack recounts them with his usual deadpan humour. But this is far more than merely a book of urban legends. Like his previous books, it is also a detective story. Exploring the real events behind conspiracy theories, the exaggerations of history and the assumptions of old wives' tales (and self-help books amongst many, many other things), Albert Jack shows us that the truth can definitely be stranger than fiction. |
