"When he was fifteen, he kidnapped Dianne Fletcher. Sweet girl, from what I’ve heard. Gutted her in 1911. You know the rest.”
— Officer Doyle Wheeler
The Toadman Saga is a series of Creepypasta by Wolfenmaus entailing the exploits of different characters as they have encounters with a mysterious being known as "The Toadman", a serial killer who was executed thirty years prior to the first story. Each story has a different narrator.
So far, the series has three entries:
- "The Toadman" (Point of View: Abram Linfeld)
- "The Toadman 2" (Point of View: Detective Tyler Smith)
- "The Toadman: Origins" (a prequel. Point of View: Keith Lesler)
Wolfenmaus has stated that a fourth is in the works, but he is known to procrastinate.
