Summary
What began as a series of tweets about sleep paralysis turned into one of the internet’s most famous live-haunting stories. A man named Adam begins posting about a dead child with a misshapen head who appears first in dreams, then in photographs, then seemingly inside his apartment. Heidi walks through the Dear David thread as it unfolded in real time, and explores why serialized horror told through social media can make fiction feel more intimate — and more believable — than almost anything else online.
