![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I am no stranger to the subreddit r/nosleep, where the writings of Auerbach’s novel first appeared, and I have spent hours indulging in its creepy tales. Voracious readers of the genre never have to worry about running out of material when creepypastas are plentiful. New works of horror are just a click away. And now as an adult, I have the entire Internet at my disposal. I loved, and still love, the adrenaline rush that accompanies reading a tale of horror. ![]() As a child, I would read horror stories even when I knew the habit would result in nightmares and fed into my already anxious personality. That takes confidence and perseverance, and Auerbach has created a strong following of readers that attests to Penpal’s ability to entertain horror fans. I want to start this review by first mentioning that I have full respect for writers who self-publish, and even more respect for a writer like Dathan Auerbach who expanded a story that was first posted on the Internet into a fully formed novel. R/nosleep: A subpage on the website Reddit featuring original works of horror fiction by online users. For those that don’t internet horror much:Ĭreepypasta: Internet horror stories and accompanying imagery and art that are shared, often copy and pasted over and over, on websites and forums. ![]()
