Urban Legend Come True

A Masontown, PA man, James 'Mike' Rucker, fell victim to one of the most frightening urban legends around. He gave a friend a ride home from the local bar and then started back. Suddenly a man sat up in the back seat and threatened Mike, telling him to keep driving. Next, Mike very bravely stopped, threw the car into park and attempted to jump out. The attacker managed to stab Mike in the neck as he was escaping the car. Our hero, Mike, has been released from the hospital and is doing well. Couple of days late for Halloween, but plenty scary!

Paranoia inducing story, that's for sure. I was really freaked out after the first Urban Legend movie from the scene that depicted this UL. Hearing of it actually happening to someone kinda brings that back a little. :gulp:

Come on, no chick in the car, no hook on the bad guy's hand, and no buckets of blood to be found at the murder site!

'Chattery Teeth' it is in the anthology 'Nightmares and Dreamscapes' by SK.
I remembered the story but not the name or book, so I googled-
