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.

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!

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

Nope! Not again.

[-] pennomi@lemmy.world 53 points 1 year ago

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

It's a dude in a chair. To me that's just silly

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

[-] havokdj@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Or even breathe to be honest

[-] swab148@startrek.website 23 points 1 year ago

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

[-] jacaw@sh.itjust.works 24 points 1 year ago

This is a fantastic comment to put under any horror story

[-] darcy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

[-] ocean@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I know there was a try guys video with something like this a couple years back, sans murder

[-] myfaceistupid@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

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

[-] udon@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

My favorite adoption of the trope is in this masterpiece

He was trying to hide and eating canned fish?

[-] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

So was that really a broken spring?

Iain M Banks has entered the chat

There's definitely some weird shit in his books.

[-] graymess@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Justas@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

Living? No. Chair? Yes.

[-] d3m0nr4v3r@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 4 points 1 year ago

"The call is coming from inside the chair!"

[-] outer_spec@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 11 months ago

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