The Creepypasta Collection

Marina G

I've always loved creepypastas and so I've spent a fair amount of time reading the nosleep subreddit and other collections. So I was pleasantly surprised that most of the ones in this book were new to me and a couple of the ones that weren't had extra content that I hadn't seen before. The majority of them were also well written and managed to unnerve me in the way we all look for when reading a creepypasta, the only exceptions to this were the following: 

Perfume (I found it to be boring and underwhelming)

A Dark Stretch of Road (again, absolutely underwhelming and it wasn't even engaging enough for me to think of it as boring, it was completely meh)

The Nice Guy (so poorly written that I couldn't get through it)

One of them disturbed me in the worst way possible so I want to warn everyone who has severe issues with eating disorders to come into it prepared (or skip it altogether) - Teeny Tiny

I only got through a couple of pages of this one but it has nothing to do with the quality of the writing or the plot (which were both great), I just do not have the stomach for explicit gore and recommend that anyone like me skip this one as well - Licks from a Bear

I loved all of the other 15 stories so much that choosing highlights is incredibly hard, so I'll be excluding the ones I'd previously read (Picture This; Bedtime, Voices from the Spirit Box, and Psychosis) to narrow down the list a little.

Creeping Crimson (The perfect combination of unnerving, compelling with a tad sprinkle of gore)

The Horror from the Vault (It's written as a collection of depositions,one of my favorite narration styles, and the plot is incredibly compelling)

When Dusk Falls on Hadley Township (I loved this one so much that I could easily read a 200.p book on Hadley Township alone)
