User blog comment:EtherBot/Jeff the Killer: Creepypasta as Creepypasta/@comment-25148755-20171009131604/@comment-25458443-20171009194428

I also sort of want to point out how some random assorted stories from "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark" are sprinkled into the site and I find that very strange. Those stories weren't intended to be enjoyed the way people enjoy creepypasta, at all. I meant to find a place to comment on this in the blog but there wasn't any space for it.

When reading a traditional campfire story like the kinds found in Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, you garnish it with extra details and flourishes. You're supposed to memorize it not read it straight from the book to your friends. In the book itself, there are pictures which do a good enough job at providing extra flourishes artificially but the pictures aren't included on the site so I'm not sure what the thought process was.
