The legends keep on coming. An incident so terrifying that even speaking of it will get you arrested. What is the horrifying truth behind the incident only whispered of in the dark corners of the internet? A website that ranks you according to how dangerous you might be to society. How far in will you go, and what will happen if you go the whole way? A beloved childhood doll with a third leg. What terrifying secrets lie inside this cursed children’s toy? Toshiden: Exploring Japanese Urban Legends Vol. 3 is back with over 50 brand new urban legends straight out of Japan, all painstakingly researched and—for many—translated into English for the first time. From supernatural creatures to medical mishaps, horrific crimes to chilling secrets of the entertainment industry, nobody does horror quite like Japan.
