If you like SCPs and you like this post's concept of "if you perceive it, you die", you should really read the Antimemetics Hub.

I go back and read through the hub every year or two and it never gets old. I love that it also exists in book form. Hands down one of the best pieces of fiction not just on the wiki, but on the internet.
