Eric Jameson, an avid hiker, recently moved to a small town in Montana. Expecting quiet, rural life, he instead begins to learn of [[TheSlenderManMythos The Wicked Gentleman]], a local legend. On his excursions into the woods and mountainsides, Eric begins finding dead animals which fit the supposed actions of the Gentleman. Curious, he begins to probe deeper into his new home's hidden secrets...

* MissingEpisode: Originally, there was an arc after the blog ended where Eric was posting from an asylum, [[spoiler:having survived an attempted suicide]], that implied that everything that happened prior was a mental breakdown, or so it first appeared. It was cut, and the blog's ending was restored to its original state.

* HighOctaneNightmareFuel: The deer that is has it's organs torn out by [[spoiler: The Gentleman]] was ''still alive'', going so far as to thrash a bit afterwards.
** The Wicked Gentleman splits his face into a smile.
** According to WordOfGod, the asylum posts were created after someone hacked his blog and the author just decided to roll with it (though he later declared said posts [[{{CanonDiscontinuity}}non-canon]]). The fact that a slenderblog was ''legitimately hijacked'' does not bode well.

->''But, by far, the most interesting has to be the story of the Wicked Gentleman. I don’t much about the story, William just gave a bare outline of it, says it’s a forgotten legend. The Wicked Gentleman was supposed to be someone living in the woods, finely dressed, but in an odd styling.''

!!This blog provides examples of:
* AxCrazy: Eric thinks the Gentleman would look rather fine with an ax embedded in his skull.
* CombatTentacles: Our favorite EldritchAbomination enjoys using these to abuse Eric and local wildlife.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: The dead deer and the descriptions of them are...vivid, to say the least. Not to mention when [[spoiler: The Gentleman pulls a deer apart.]]
* CanonDiscontinuity: The asylum posts.
* DontGoInTheWoods
* EvilSmellsBad: Those freshly killed animals? They have the scent of weeks of decomposition.
* FlatWhat: "So…the Gentleman. Is an idea. What."
* FilmNoir: Eric has a dream where he assumes the role of a hard boiled detective in a rainslicked city as he tracks a serial killer [[spoiler: Exactly like the Gentleman]]
* GoMadFromTheIsolation: Quite likely what happened to the Hermit.
* MissingEpisode: Originally, there was an arc after the blog ended where Eric was posting from an asylum, [[spoiler:having survived an attempted suicide]], that implied that everything that happened prior was a mental breakdown, or so it first appeared.

* InsaneEqualsViolent: As the Gentleman's attacks further push Eric into the crazy bin, the hiker's list of things he wants to do to his Eldritch stalker become more and more disturbing.
* NotUsingTheZWord: Eric never refers to him as the Slender Man, instead calling him the Wicked Gentleman.
* [[spoiler:SuicideByCop]]
* SceneryPorn: Some of the photos posted on the tumblr are simply beautiful.
* TownWithADarkSecret: The Gentleman first appeared in the 1800's, and everyone in the town seems to know of the legend but won't talk about it.
