The Torist: a literary journal on the darknet

Reminds me of all the fluff about “Teh Dark Web” the last few years. Lots of claims of spooky dark things like records of human experimentation, and ghosts and whatever.

On a lark, I did download the Tor bundle and try tracking that stuff down. Actually kind of fun, once I found it. It’s obviously bogus, made as a prank or hoax or whatever because Tor is dark and spooky and in some people’s minds lends an air of credence to the whole thing. It made for fun AR fiction. Somebody kindly took screenshots so you don’t have to monkey around with Tor to view it:

I fully expect the journal to be filled with largely CreepyPasta and conspiracy stuff in a similar vein. In other words, it should be good fun.
