This is gonna be a "book" about horror stories, urban legends, and tips on what to do in a horror story for survival and what to not do. I'll talk about different urban legends, their origins, and how they might be told differently. Might also add that if I feel like it there may be inclusions of creepypasta. This isn't the first "book" I've written before but not this kind of "book" so don't judge, also if you get bothered by bad spelling then a warning that English isn't my first language and I might have some spelling errors.
