"DeadBooks hints at a densely packed mythology that draws on The X-Files and Stephen King, with a little David Lynch-style creepiness thrown in for good measure."
Listen to VPR's Susan Keese's interview "... I admit I had some pretty strong eerie moments that caused chills to run up my back, something I wouldn’t otherwise feel if the story was a simple novel." “Wuerslin may be a pioneer in creating a novel experience… Read The DeadBooks and decide for yourself. As for me, I highly recommend it.” “... the end product is strangely hypnotic and a bit creepy. It's certainly something unique and innovative.” “DeadBooks.com is one of the coolest things "...an interesting experiment in re-imaging more traditional forms of story-telling." (And) "... utilizes
a small army of actors and musicians to tell its tale..." |

Watched a Good Book Lately? Mark H. Harris - Monday August 25, 2008 - Excerped "I came across an interesting site last week: Deadbooks.com. It calls itself a "hyper-serialization," and I can't think of a better term for it. Basically, it's the Internet version of a book on tape, involving not only a vocal reading of books (in this case, the Deadbooks series by Hasso Wuerslin), but also sound effects, music, interactive elements and visuals that are like a living scrapbooknot quite moving video, not quite static photos, but a hybrid. Wuerslin has dedicated eight years of his life to animating the chapters, utilizing over 30 actors and 40 musical groups from around the world. The story itself seems to be a horror-sci fi hybrid about a man on a mining ship that discovers a lifeless Earth. As the man explores, he's possessed by a ghost trying to get him to see the last days of its life. . . . the end product is strangely hypnotic and a bit creepy. It's certainly something unique and innovative." |
