Creepypasta archives, unsettling fiction and horror built specifically for a browser window. Best at night, obviously.
13 sites
The tidied-up archive of internet horror folklore, from Slender Man to the stories a school friend swore blind were true.
Reader-submitted horror stories with narrated versions, sorted so you can pick your poison: rituals, dolls, or something in the loft.
Thousands of strangers claim to have dreamt the same face. Read the whole thing: the explanation is better than the hoax.
Point-and-click cabinet of grotesque curiosities where every drawer you open contains a small, beautifully animated unpleasantness.
Analogue horror shaped like a small-town TV station's broadcast archive, including the night it advised everyone to look up.
Fictional US national park built inside a colossal living organism, documented entirely as tourist brochures and incident reports.
Eldritch horror podcast set in an alternate Appalachia where the mountains are older than people and considerably less friendly.
Every Poe story and poem with annotations, a timeline and a vocabulary tool, kept by one enthusiast since the early web.
Horror fiction posted as though it were true, under a rule that commenters must play along. The good threads run for weeks.
Collaborative fiction dressed as containment paperwork for anomalous objects, written by thousands of people in one clinical deadpan.
Wiki for an infinite office nobody built, mapped level by level in damp yellow carpet by contributors who take it extremely seriously.
Complete texts, timelines and scholarship for a writer whose entire output is public domain, on a site that has barely changed since 1994.
Two decades of first-person hauntings submitted by the public, filed by country and picked apart politely in the comments.
Every entry in Detour is hand-sorted rather than scraped: filed under one category, given one to three moods, and placed in a time band for how quickly it pays off. The practical facts — cost, sign-up, sound, device and whether it is safe at a desk — are recorded per site and shown on every card, so you can rule things out before you click.
13 sites, each hand-sorted by category, mood and how long it takes to pay off.
13 of the 13 are free and need no account. None of them are paid.
12 of 13 work on a phone; the rest are desktop only. 13 are safe for work and 10 work with the sound off.
One button, one detour. Press it as often as you like.
