Twenty years ago, we used to sit around campfires to tell each other ghost stories. Today, those campfires still burn, though many of us simply load up our tablets. The internet is a breeding ground for tales of insanity, horror and supernatural terror.
At their worst, these stories simply rip-off pre-existing material or try to shock us with senseless gore. At their best, they give us a wealth of creepy characters as scary as anything Stephen King ever dreamed up, implanting them into the annals of internet lore and urban legend, and blurring the lines between the online and offline worlds.
