Candle Cove is a Creepypasta by Kris Straub of Ichor Falls and Chainsawsuit. Due to copyright issues, it can no longer be read on this wiki, but is available at the author's website.

Kris published Candle Cove in his anthology, Candle Cove and Other Stories, available from Amazon. The story was later adapted to form the first season of Channel Zero, a show based on well-known Creepypastas. Also adapted were NoEnd House, I'm a Search and Rescue Officer, and I Found a Hidden Door in My Cellar. Channel Zero can sometimes be watched (for free) on Syfy's website, if you have a cable plan which includes the channel.

Story Synopsis

The pasta takes the form of a forum discussion. Things begin fairly innocuously — Skyshale033 mentions a strange local television programme from the early '70s called Candle Cove. However, as more users begin to recall details of the show, the story takes a dark turn. People remember strange episodes, which seem completely inappropriate for childrens' broadcasting, and a disturbing villain who wants to, "GRIND YOUR SKIN." The story ends with a shocking reveal, bringing into question the entire nature of Candle Cove, and the memories shared.
