Jared Roberts

Author of NoSleep and Creepypasta classics, The Hidden Webpage, My Dad Finally Told Me What Happened That Day, "The Arkansas Sleep Experiments," and more.

I've written a handful of acclaimed internet horror stories. They have been featured on The NoSleep Podcast, The Dark Somnium, Creep Cast, and other podcasts or youtube channels.

My style has been described as surreal, liminal, Lynchian, mysterious. And scary. Always scary. I don't know; I just write the stories the way that comes naturally to me.

Many of my stories are freely available to read on Reddit. I intend to leave them that way.

Reader/Listener Reactions

Reactions to My Dad Finally Told Me What Happened That Day (youtube, The Dark Somnium)

"This was actually one of the most chilling stories I’ve heard..." - @thefunseeker9545

"Jared Roberts is amazing at this certain type of horror that is hard to explain. Hidden Webage [sic] is one of my favorite creepypastas and the certain horror it used, I haven't seen anywhere else. This creepypasta scratches that itch." - @jacob-6292

"It's near impossible to creep me out or scare me. This story scared me." - @saplingtree8020

Reactions to The Hidden Webpage (youtube, Creep Cast)

"one of the best online horror stories ever posted... Hollywood is foolish for not pouncing on this one, or any of his others, yet." - @Lildeterioratingmemory

"I just listened to this while working my warehouse job, the hair on the back of my neck and goosebumps have been maxed out basically the whole time." - @johnathandiscua6176

"this story hit me hard, it's terrifying in the best way." - @krystencabbage1032

Reactions to My Family Was Abducted When I Was a Child (youtube, The Dark Somnium)

"I’ve been listening to horror narrators on here for years[...]. This one, even out of all your other stories, is the first one to make me feel true fear in a long time. My hairs were on edge. I didn’t want to move. I usually listen to these to relax, but this one has me in full survival mode. That is NOT a bad thing. Extreme props to the writer. Hope to be this scared more in the future." - @incomprehensiblegaming

"This story didn't just mess with my mind—it shattered it. It wasn't just horror. It was existential, cosmic, deeply psychological… a slow unraveling of identity, memory, family, reality itself." - @nightmarechronicles68
