About

Daily Creepypasta is a small, quiet corner of the internet with one rule: a new story every night.

Some are passed along to us. Some we write ourselves, and those are marked Daily Creepypasta Original. All of them are short enough to finish before you go to bed, and, we hope, unsettling enough that you’ll think twice about turning off the hall light.

We like horror that takes its time. The wrong detail in a familiar room. The note in your own handwriting that you don’t remember writing. The sound that stops a moment after you notice it. You won’t find much gore here. We’d rather leave the door open a crack and let you imagine what’s on the other side.

Reading

New stories go up every evening. The newest one is always waiting on the front page, and everything we’ve ever published lives in the archive. If you’d like each night’s story delivered to your feed reader, subscribe to our RSS feed.

Submissions & contact

Have a story that’s been keeping you up at night? We’d love to read it. Submission details are coming soon.

Every story on this site is fiction. Any resemblance to real people, places, or things that knock at 3:12 in the morning is purely coincidental.
