What happens when the feed starts feeding back? In The Algorithm Is Watching, Flint Cilas delivers a chilling exploration of how viral content, cursed images, and digital folklore create modern hauntings. From TikTok hexes and AI cryptids to phantom notifications and the eerie myth of the Backrooms, this book reveals how the internet is no longer just a tool, it is becoming an entity. Blending cultural analysis with the dread of creepypasta horror, Cilas shows how attention itself becomes ritual sacrifice, how memes function as sigils, and how collective nightmares spill into both our feeds and our dreams. Each chapter uncovers a new threshold where technology and the supernatural blur, leaving readers unsettled yet unable to look away.
