In 'Wicked Cruel,' a book by Rich Wallace, readers are introduced to three interlinked stories that explore urban legends and the power of storytelling. The tales revolve around kids in a small town who encounter and contribute to the spread of eerie local myths. The first story follows Zack, who becomes obsessed with a legend about a witch's grave. The second tale centers on Gina, who investigates the truth behind a story of a ghost dog. The final narrative focuses on Luke, who is drawn into a mystery surrounding a boy who supposedly haunts the school's basement. As the characters delve deeper into these legends, they confront their own fears and the consequences of spreading rumors. The book examines themes of truth versus fiction, the nature of fear, and the impact of stories on a community.
