An urban legend that doesn't really exist? I'm not sure. I guess if I can think of a book with the same level of mystique around it then maybe The Voynich Manuscript

Probably The Histories by Polybius. Was there a more based man than Hannibal?

>The Voynich Manuscript
It's not mysterious. It's just what autismos use to do before the internet.

>A sci-fi horror novel about the most mysterious arcade game ever made. Two friends travel to an arcade in downtown Chicago, which they suspect may contain a haunted arcade machine from urban legends- Polybius. Unknown horrors await them, as they inch ever closer to the truth behind the sinister arcade game.
Part of a series of interconnected horror novels that can be read in any order. Each book serves as a stand alone story, yet builds a greater picture behind a dark mystery in Chicago.

I was gonna suggest something similar; there's probably people who believe the Necronomicon exists (has existed before Lovecraft)

Does Gardner really go on here to shill his book or is it a meme. Are they really shit? I can't even fucking tell anymore.

>> No.21712000

>>21711970
he used to shill them but i dont think he does anymore, i think he just lets the memes propagate themselves now, making us do the work for him. I myself have shilled gardner before.

I'm pretty sure he occasionally shills himself still but I'm guilty of memeing him. He used to have ads too I think.
