Exploring a prominent digital mythology, this book proposes a new
way of viewing both online narratives and the online communities
which tell them. The Slender Man - a monster known for making
children disappear and causing violent deaths to the adults who
seek to know more about him - is used as an extended case study to
explore the role of digital communities, as well as the question of
the existence of a broader "digital culture". Structural
anthropological mythic analysis and ethnographic details
demonstrate how the Slender Man mythology is structured, and how
its everlasting nature in the online communities demonstrates an
importance of the mythos.
