I am over the moon to learn that Professor Dan Compora is using The Billionth Monkey in his Folklore and Literature class at the University of Toledo.
To introduce the urban legend portion of the course, students spend two weeks discussing The Billionth Monkey, each of them researching and presenting in detail one of the urban legends in the book. Apparently they're having a lot more fun discovering urban legends through my novel than they have in the past using standard texts.
I couldn't be more thrilled and honored.*
Plus, this news comes just in time for the Halloween campus murders!
* Well, except for maybe a Hollywood blockbuster starring John Oliver, Ryan Kwanten and Stoya.
