We deconstruct writing to construct better writers.' Remember when I said that Reddit isn't for the faint of heart? That's especially accurate in this writing critique subreddit. DestructiveReaders ( /r/destructivereaders): 'DestructiveReaders isn't about writers being nice to writers it's about readers being honest with writers.And I mean everything, including one dedicated entirely to photos of bread stapled to trees, but also including several excellent writing subreddits that provide critiques, craft and publishing advice, ideas and prompts, and more. The most common subreddits include /r/aww for cute critters, /r/pics for neat photos, and /r/askreddit for posing social questions to the community-but really, there's one for everything. Part anonymous message board platform, part social news and media aggregator, Reddit has more than 520 million regular monthly visitors and more than 1.2 million active subreddits, or categorized message boards that you can subscribe to in order to make popular submissions appear on your 'front page' when you visit or the mobile app. But 'the front page of the internet' is also a wealth of information, knowledge, resources, inspiration and so much more. To the uninitiated, Reddit can seem like the Wild West of the web-and that's not entirely inaccurate. These are stories of missing people, unidentified bodies, things and people vanishing without a trace- the real horror stories of this world, imo.In the May/June 2019 issue of Writer's Digest, you'll find our annual roundup of the 101 Best Websites for Writers! This year's collection is supplemented by online addendums, including this guide to navigating Reddit's offerings for writers, along with a set of mobile apps for writers. What charm these stories may lack (given that they’re factual accounts and not fictional narratives) they make up for in fear. Last (while in storytelling they might be), but certainly not least, we have r/unresolvedmysteries. These ones are real- real people, real creepy encounters (but they lived to tell the tale).

I like to start with r/nosleep because, as a friendly reminder, these ones aren’t real.The peace of mind you feel in browsing through these, knowing they’re fictional, dissipates by the time you hit r/letsnotmeet. While this is a good jumping off point for scary Reddit stories, I highly recommend browsing these subs individually, and sorting by top post by month or year. This is the best of r/nosleep, r/letsnotmeet and r/unresolvedmysteries- in that order. I love a good scary story, and there’s no better collection of them than on reddit.
