1. A Dream with Demons

   Publisher's catalog copy:

   In A Dream with Demons, Edward Falco invents a world where bruised adults attempt, over and over, to rewrite the violent scripts of their childhood. Preston Morris is an accomplished lawyer and novelist who writes painful, provocative stories to shore up fragments of his own desperate life. One of Preston's works, which forms the core of A Dream with Demons, tells of a sadly streetwise adolescent named Missy who struggles to come of age during the short space of a weekend when her mother finally leaves her tortured, brilliant lover, the artist Val Rivson.

   Preston's genius -- or is it Falco's? -- is the accuracy with which he portrays the sublime compulsions of several tortured yet resilient people. Holding everything together is the unique hypertext structure of A Dream with Demons, which dramatizes a theme evident throughout: how the past can compel the present, through the fragmentary, unreliable, but ultimately persistent medium of memory.

5. The Seagull

   The Seagull was a way for Deemer to set the stage for hyperdramas, as he wanted to it to achieve the respect he felt it was warranted. Thus, Deemer chose to intepret and translate Chekhov's The Seagull, and make it in to a hyperdrama. He started the work in late 80s, and it was finnished, and published online in August 2002.
