It Lives in Plush Mountain
A Reddit-Born Horror Series Told in Flash Chapters
It started as a fun game of hide and seek between father and son—a giant stuffed animal pile, an almost empty apartment, and a bit of laughter in a new home.
But something about the pile felt… off. And when the father decides to hide inside it, the game takes a darker turn.
Told in short, first-person flash segments, It Lives in Plush Mountain blends slow-burn dread, supernatural uncertainty, and immersive, in-character reader replies to build a living narrative. Originally published on Reddit, this story is ongoing and evolving in real time.
Read the series on Reddit:
