Every year, it gets harder and harder to narrow down "winning" entries. I'm not just blowing smoke when I say that our little contest continually produces the best fiction writing I have ever seen. This time around, there was a point where I suddenly realized I had put more than half the total entries in the "maybe winner" pile and still wasn't done adding to it, before I scaled back, so even if your story didn't win, there's pretty high chances it was at least considered. You're just that good. There isn't one story here I wouldn't recommend for one reason or another.









IMPORTANT STUFF:

- If you don't see your entry, it's an ERROR. I never deliberately exclude a single one! I have to do a lot of copy/pasting, typing and editing to assemble the archive, so mistakes are unavoidable. Re-send your missing entry and I'll add it as soon as I can!

- If you were working on a story and didn't finish it in time, I want to see it anyway! I will even add some late entries, if you're really just now finishing them up!

- "Creepypasta" does not necessarily mean "public domain." All of these stories are copyright their respective creators and may not be published for any kind of profit without their consent. If you repost any of these stories to a blog, forum or imageboard, include the same author credit and a link back to its original page here!

- Don't be a jerk about things you don't like! Be friendly and constructive! We're only here to have fun!









CONTEST WINNERS:

This year, some people won for a single story, and some won for a collection of stories. If your name is here, e-mail me for a shirt of your choice from the store! If you know of any other art I've made that you want on a shirt, I can make it available!







SEMIFINALISTS:

A CORRECTION: "Triggering" and "Silent Crickets" were actually stories a friend sent me as recommendations, and not their own. I'd been awake for over 20 hours at the time and put them up in a daze. Sorry guys!- By Kite Line - Of all the stories here, this one actually scared me the most. There's just something about it, just right to freak me out.- By Joseph Hartman - A unique horror premise with the feel of an old, dark fable. Joseph Hartman also submitted the amazing Beelzebus and Haze , which were also considered for first place, and are alldifferent stories. Don't skip any of them.- By Brian Shadensack - Previewed last year, the series as of this round consists of Interview 18 Interview 37 , and Interview 42 , wherein a series of homeless citizens describe theirproblems.- By Emma G. - You've all heard tales of murderous internet memes and cursed photographs...but what's it like on theside?- By Huw Saunders - A darkly funny, grimy drama tying in with several things Bogleech readers might be familiar with. You probably won't be expected what, or how.- By C. Lonnquist - A series of mysterious letters with horrifying consequences. An exciting read, and vied for this spot with Lonnquist's entirely different Sleeping Bag - This author has been submitting great material since year one, and this year, offers six wildly varying tales, so read(my favorite),, and- By Austin Brooks - I just really love where this one goes...but especially where it doesn't. I'll explain in the comments.- By Elliot Avery - The same author won last year for Captain's Log , and I usually aim to declare all-new winners, but I have to make an exception at least this once. "The Traffic Stop" is brutal commentary on painful issues and might be difficult for some people to get through, but it's sincere and powerful. The final note is a punch in the gut that made me tear up every reading. For a much lighter, but still scary as hell entry, Elliot also submitted Photobomber.

I'm not made of t-shirts but if you're here, drop me a line and I could at least send you one of those omfg figures or pay for a couple redbubble stickers or something!







SERIES CONTINUATIONS:

CORRECTIONS AND BELATED ENTRIES:

ALL STORIES:

- By Daniel Saults - Daniel Saults is another past winner, and this time, crafted a whole playable Body Horror tabletop role-playing game, available here as a PDF download!- By Ryan Oleynik - Lovecraftian horror better than Lovecraft, and just when you think it would have ended, it's only just getting started. Don't miss Ryan's other entries, especially not the terrifying Crawling - By Evan MacNeil - I usually discourage pieces that might be construed too much as fanfiction, but this is too good. A story form this angle feels kind of a long time coming.- By Nick Noah - Another one with that perfect, classical spooky story twist. This one warrants reading aloud at a Halloween party. See also- By Hisham H. - The author won last year with several entries, but he's done it again. It was a toss-up between "Magic Number" and his weird, hilarious Rules and Instructions . One is truly terrifying, with ansurprise reveal. The other reads like the most darkly funny and maddening depths of the SCP foundation. Another to check out is Birthchild , another story with a last-minute shocker!- By Anonymous - Battle-monster settings aren't something milked for horror as often as I would expect.- By Max Peabody - We've seen plants end the world a number of ways in the cookoff, but this is a rather different approach, with a tense and bitter climax.- By Charred Newt - Me, too.- By Millien - A glimpse into a tragic and sympathetic existence.- By J I L - A surreal and emotional tale in a broken world. Half-way through, the story branches into two possible paths...- By Olita Clark - Well, come on. Do it. I don't know how it could be any clearer.- By Lee Sherman - This is one of those stories with that classic creepypasta sort of twist; you don't know what it could be getting at until those very last few words.- By Pumpkinheadeddoll - This is another one that genuinely disturbs me and was close to winning. What an utterly hopeless, horrendous problem...and truly tormenting questions.- By Ed and Julie Bartlett - Parasitic alien invasion with a lovely unexpected twist!- By Dandelion Steph - might take a couple reads to realize what's happening, but it's weird and ghastly and a little bit sad.- By The Album Atrium - Weird, hilarious, and makes an obscure reference you won't need to know to enjoy it, but it certainly amused- By Anonymous - This is one of the most morbidly funny ever submitted.- By Nick McLean - A tale of prejudice, injustice and divine punishment...but the great thing about this story is that- By Irene Vallone - Another past winner brings us a lot of amazing horror this year, but especially noteworthy arein the fantastic Ghost Tide continuity.- By DNotA - A followup to last year's "Something Bolted This Way Comes." Both stories are more sci-fi fantasy than horror, but loaded with imagination and fun.- By Claude Turner - A follow-up to last year's winning Going Green though it stands amazingly well all on its own, too.- By Samuel Miller - Last year's "The Boxes" stories are an imaginative mix of strange themes, and they aren't done yet!- By Samuel Miller - More "boxes" weirdness!Some of these are entries finished only a day late; others are entries I accidentally skipped adding to the archive, so they're here in a special place to make up for my flub!- By Thomas Johnson - (PDF Download - a Burgrr movie script!)- By Infernalthing -- By Timmeh Taylor -- By Mars Letourneau -- By Mars Letourneau -- By Mars Letourneau -- By The Album Atrium -- By Jon Strong -- By James B.
