The Fear Mythos/WMG

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Slender Man rules other fears or at last is strongest of them

Slender represents the fear of unknown, which both H.P. Lovecraft and Stephen King noted to be strongest of all kinds of fear.

  • Jossed, as certain fears defy the slender man.
    • Not necessarily. Though it suggests that he doesn't likely "rule" the other Fears, he could still be the strongest.
  • He certainly seems to have a dominant role in many Mythos stories. To some extent, this is a natural result of the Slender Man's status as Canon Immigrant and Ensemble Darkhorse: he has an established fanbase pulling for him. The same can be said for fellow immigrant, the Rake, albeit to a lesser extent.
  • The slender man in The Fear Mythos represents the fear of strangers and, in some interpretations, trees. Not the fear of the unknown. Every Fear is the fear of the unknown when done right.
