Thank you for your interest in my stories published in 2021. Here’s a little bit more information about the projects.
Haunted (A Slip Story) is an interactive weird fiction collection game. It is a hypertext story with 39 unique pathways through the events. The story and art change depending on which order you choose to play the game in. When you finish one world of the story—Classic Orange, Smooth Rouge, Faded Jade—you can go back and try the other worlds, but you know a lot more than you should if it was really a fresh start.
The stories “Crawl,” “Shrapnel,” and “Portal” come from the companion short story collection Haunted: A Collection of Weird Fiction. After completing the original hypertext/interactive weird fiction game, I created six new stories inspired by the events in the game. “Crawl” is a new version of Classic Orange; “Shrapnel” is a new version of Smooth Rouge; “Portal” is a new version of Faded Jade. These are brand new stories written for the collection. The remaining three stories are short flash fiction pieces not being submitted for consideration.
Both Haunted (A Slip Story) and Haunted: A Collection of Weird Fiction came out 25 October 2021. Haunted (A Slip Story) is available on itch.io. Haunted: A Collection of Weird Fiction is available at all major eBook outlets (Amazon, Apple, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Smashwords) and on my Ko-fi.
