got ready to catch up on a few years of nosleep, sorted by top, literally none of these are scary, nor are they even well written. i stopped reading them in probably 2016-2017 when all the hottest stories started boiling down to "bigotry was the real monster all along" "big bad evil guy does a heckin wholesome" or just weird, impotent revenge fantasies you can tell are written about the author's bully
the top post of the last few years is https://old.reddit.com/r/nosleep/comments/wqnymn which is just a stupid shallow reddit bait about a cheater but even sillier than usual main character's wife when her husband gets drunk and chips part of his brain out in front of her
are there any the past few years that don't suck butt? i used to stay up all night scared shitless over these, the bar is low, i can't believe nosleep has somehow gotten so bad they can't even scare me

@elekongza if you can find the time to read the whole thing in one go and it’s late at night and you’re a bit tired and completely sober, the basement man story by /u/polterkites is absolutely worth your time. The title and the premise make it seem like it’s going to be another tedious, puerile rules story or unnecessarily drawn out serialization about something trite like the title
But it is not that at all
Even a little bit
That is deliberate and it is so masterfully written and if binged and in the right mood it completely fricks with your head in a way a story written for Reddit absolutely should not have the finesse to do. But it does and it is so so so good.
Or maybe it won’t be your thing and I am an outlier along with the handful of people I’ve bullied into reading it. It’s very long and a major time commitment. But it’s sooooo good.
Polterkites is gone now though because Netflix bought another of his stories (a still good, but less good one) and he’s producing it or some shit too. But it’s a genuinely talented author and not some gay Reddit “””writer””” and if the basement man story hits right, it’s flawless.

It was really good! When the "list of rules" style stories started coming out I read a couple and then vowed to never read another one again because they were fricking horrible
This one was different though. Maybe I'll actually have to read some of the others... I'll look into that other story he's doing for Netflix too. Thank you Carp

perfect conditions tonight, i'll read it now! i thought this was going to be your own personal horror story of a man in your basement so the notification from him spooked me more than any of the stories i read last night
some stories on there were just so out of place next to "and then his eyes started bleeding! and he tried to speak but only static came out!!"
