5 Scary Things I Found Online (And An Update!) - Septembe/Octoberr 2017

UPDATE ON BOOK FIVE: THE SHADOW MAN PART 2

I wanted to have the book finished and ready for publishing by Halloween (today.) I thought it would be a very special surprise to have that ready for all of you. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to finish it in time. I had completed the first draft awhile ago, but as I keep looking at it, I realize that it still needs a lot more work. Even though it would be nice for all of you to be able to read it on or before Halloween, I'd rather make sure that I'm giving you a quality product and miss my deadline, rather than just throw something out there just to get it out there.

So I appreciate your patience during this time and just know I'm hard at work on the fifth book. I'm hoping that all this work will mean it will be the best book yet!

In the mean time, if you are looking for something creepy to read/watch tonight, try listening to all these creepy videos in the dark, tonight, for Halloween, by yourself. I guarantee you'll get scared.

NOW ONTO FIVE SCARY THINGS FOR SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2017 (Because I missed last month.)

1. "The Dream Of Every Dentist" Creepypasta


For some reason, this month, I had a lot of fun watching creepypastas. I enjoy reading them, too, but there's something about a great narrator that makes them that much more special. There's a lot of terrible Creepypastas out there and what's great is the people who narrate them on youtube have sorted through a lot of the bad ones and usually only narrate the best.

This is one of the best creepypastas I've ever heard. I hope this person is a writer because they took some real world concepts (like that dentists kill themselves more than any other profession), which made it seem more real, and made it into one of the most terrifying stories I've ever heard. Not to mention it was that much more frightening because dentists are scary and most of us have a fear of them.

2. "I Relive Every Day Multiple Times - Today Ends Badly" Creepypasta


This creepypasta started out a little slow. I was scared it would get predictable, but as time went on and I kept listening, it got better and better. The ending of it was unexpected and perfect. It reminds me of the movie "Happy Death Day" a bit which I haven't seen yet, but have heard is decent.

3 "You'll Never Even Know" Creepypasta


I was intrigued by this creepypasta because of the title. It presented a mystery and mysteries can be scary. The story was one of the most terrifying creepypastas I've ever heard or read, so it lived up to its hype and made me slightly paranoid by the end of it.

4. "Dogs Know They Aren't Human" Creepypasta


I love my dog (as you can tell by some of my stories that feature my dog in them), so this drew me in. I trust my dog and her instincts and wanted to know what the dog in this story was sensing. Every time you think this story is going to be predictable, it throws you for a loop. Very terrifying and a wonderful ending.

5. "I Can See Auras And It's A Curse" Creepypasta



Wow. This one is dark. It's the kind of thing that messes you up to listen to. Best of all, it presents you with philosophical dilemmas. Very well written, I hope this writer goes on to publish more horror stories.

Update: New Book Coming Soon!

I just want to let you all know that I'm not dead and I'm still working on my horror books.

I was originally going to write about a story my Mom had told me about being in college and her roommate being possessed. I had already written part of it, when a little over a month ago, I saw another shadow man instead.

By far, my most popular book is my first book, people seem to like learning about shadow men so much, so I decided to put the other book on hold and write this story instead. It's longer than the original shadow man stories (for people who are unhappy with the short length of the first book) because a lot happened this time I saw a shadow person.

I've been on hiatus for a little while, partly from the trauma of seeing a shadow man again and partly from a lot of stress that has been added to my life, but I've been working on this next volume whenever I got the chance and hope to have it done by Halloween.

I didn't make a blog post last month about scary things I found online, but I hope to make a combined one for both September and October  by the time Halloween rolls around, too.
