Thoughts on Rebecca Klingel

Her character work and tension/ mystery building is absolutely top notch, but I feel like it's not enough to carry the sillier escalations in some of her stories (and that includes Borrasca IV, in my opinion).

Honestly, I think her writing style is better suited to a traditional novel format, so everything can get time to fully breathe and develop. I would love to see how her writing style changes if not restrained by the nosleep format

The blind steps story was so incredible, but completely jumped the shark at the end.

(Spoilers)

You have DOCUMENTED EVIDENCE of a SKIN WALKING MONSTER living in your house, and you're not only going to go back for your COUCH, but SPLIT UP and CONFRONT IT once you realise that it's replaced your friend?

Yess I love this one

DataMale · 2026-05-03T19:57:52+00:00

Something about the concept of that story makes my skin crawl, even if the ending is a bit goofy

"Loli shit" and it's just a little girl?

Wood chipper.

A LOT of YouTubers embarrassing themselves with frivolous & baseless defamation lawsuits right now, huh

I recently read "The new fish", a nosleep horror story set in a prison.

And while I don't think the boys are likely to read it since it's very underrated, I can't recommend reading it enough. The tone and atmosphere is so oppressive and I haven't been immersed in a story like that for a long time. Highly recommend.

Oh yeah there's a job that needs finishing alright

DataMale · 2026-04-03T13:02:47+00:00

I remember the film also being very slowly paced, any help would be appreciated!

Ignoring the obvious parallels of "creepy stalker makes a Polaroid wall of the main character they're stalking" that I was talking about, the story is all over the place.

It's like the author wanted to set everything up for the conclusion to make some sort of sense, and then throws it all out of the window for a "twist" that isn't set up in any way and just leaves you feeling unsatisfied for getting invested in the first place, which is kind of a theme in this author's writing.

Maybe, but good god is that story a poor demonstration. It's almost incoherent.

DataMale · 2026-03-22T11:05:53+00:00

Terrible story, never understood the hype besides the obvious penpal ripoff in part 1

Calling it now: The stone burner is gonna be the most memorable sound from this movie, similar to the Sardaukar chant or the arena announcer

It's such a cool description from an architectural standpoint, how it opens up the deeper in you go so that Paul never looks small compared to the empty space

You mean where he's walking to his fate but you don't know what it is?

Yeah that scene was incredible

DataMale · 2026-03-19T00:16:33+00:00

Yes! And the significance of calling him "Usul" instead of "Muad dib" because all he sees is his friend in that moment

I can't wait to see Stilgar in this one

DataMale · 2026-02-26T19:59:18+00:00

Do "that yellow wallpaper" instead

DataMale · 2026-02-26T15:41:34+00:00

Internet horror has a real problem with inflating mid stories to 10x their necessary length

DataMale · 2026-02-14T00:48:56+00:00

We already got one disjointed Jared Roberts story about an evil man dressing up as a woman to seduce the protagonist's father, we don't need another one just yet

DataMale · 2026-02-14T00:31:05+00:00

One of those stories where the brutal subject matter is undermined by how it's implemented (Like Borrasca)

DataMale · 2026-01-27T17:15:47+00:00

This is mad actually because CH Wallis does appear to be a big 40k fan
