Though by definition legends deal largely with belief and possibility, the crowdsourced mythos behind creepypasta and Slender Man suggests a distinct awareness of fabrication. Slender Man is therefore a new kind of creation: one intentionally created as a fiction but with the look and feel of legend.</p><p><em>Slender Man Is Coming</em> offers an unprecedented folkloristic take on Slender Man, analyzing him within the framework of contemporary legend studies, creepypastas, folk belief, and childrens culture.
