I was pleasantly surprised a couple of years ago, when both my daughters were suddenly obsessed with SCPs. They were about 9 and 14 at the time, and I didn’t introduce them to the concept - they discovered it on their own.

What followed was a few weeks of me re-reading them, discovering several new offshoots of the SCP genre, and getting to discover those works for the first time with my kids.

It was an awesome experience, and something I honestly never expected to come out of a random “old Internet” meme like that. :)




They might enjoy the webcomic 'The Repository Of Dangerous Things'.

This is only tangentially related, but have you played the video game "Control"? That and Alan Wake (both from Remedy) seem to relate very well with the SCP genre.


You can combine all three tastes with qntm's Control X SCP story: https://archiveofourown.org/works/31032671/chapters/76659218


I just Ctrl+F'd "Control" looking for this comment...
