The best spam account on Twitter has a parody on the dark side.

If that’s not enough meta Twitter to melt your mind, get this: @EvilHorseEbooks has more than 4,400 followers. While that’s someway off the pace of its forebear, @horse_ebooks (which has around 130,000 followers), it’s still a reasonably popular account.

Since February, the evil alter ego has urged followers to “Worship Satan,” to never wake up,  and, most horrifyingly of all, to go outside. It apes the distinctive ramblings and brilliant accidental poetry of @horse_ebooks impressively well.

@EvilHorseEbooks is a little disturbing, sometimes funny, occasionally awful, and most certainly weird.
