At Aeon Magazine, Will Wiles considers creepypasta, an anonymous group effort to create dark urban legend, “Indeed, this might be what creepypasta aspires to be: urban legend, dark social memes with just enough familiarity to give a frisson of awful possibility. Much of it is spread with little authorial ego. But it is also self-consciously fiction, created for perverse pleasure, the pleasure of fear. It is weird fiction.” via @katelaity
