I accidentally wrote a story that was similar:

A man lives alone in his apartment. He needs to return to the office for the first time in months. He arrives at the office, and quickly develops excruciating back pain. A few days pass, and he finds himself unable to work. He also starts finding strange bite marks on his neck and back.

He calls out for a few days, but eventually, he has to go back. He arrives at work and sits in his chair. He quickly feels his back pain return, but also strange movements from his chair. He stands and screams, tossing the chair. The office staff are in shock. He then uses a pen knife to cut open the back of his chair. As he does, there are multiple screams, as a large, spine-like centipede emerges from the chair.

I even did the rough draft for the comic, but never finished. Damn I need to.

Yes you do. And then you need to keep it far the fuck away from me.

I mean that's el almohadón de plumas but with extra steps

I'd never heard of them, but I'm definitely checking them out. That's "The Feather Pillow", in english right, by Horacio Quiroga?

That chair was made for me!

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

Is it the same artist? It has to be, right? There can't be two people capable of thinking up such horrors.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Nope! Not again.

[-] [email protected] 51 points 2 years ago

But see, that’s much creepier than some impossible, unknowable horror… it’s something disturbing that conceivably could happen.

[-] [email protected] 28 points 2 years ago

Yeah... I've got a real problem with people being near me and me being unaware of them. This... I'd die of fright from the realize they were there before the blade hit anything important.

I'ld burn every piece of furniture and move to a cave.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Better check inside those rocks, just in case

They can walk as soon as they're born 😍🤗

How the fuck do you eat from a can like that?

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Or even breathe to be honest

[-] [email protected] 24 points 2 years ago

Didn't Impractical Jokers do this as a punishment once?

[-] [email protected] 23 points 2 years ago

This is a fantastic comment to put under any horror story

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

nicest murr punishment

He was trying to hide and eating canned fish?

The human chair was adapted from a story by author Edogawa Ranpo though.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

My favorite adoption of the trope is in this masterpiece

Iain M Banks has entered the chat

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

There's definitely some weird shit in his books.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Got my attention. I've read 1.5 Banks novels in the Culture series and so far nothing living in chairs.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Living? No. Chair? Yes.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Don't really get the reference but upvoting Ian M. Banks regardless.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

So was that really a broken spring?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

"The call is coming from inside the chair!"

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

“I’m living in your walls!” so? I’m living in your chair
