1. Inside Blackwell Mansion

   "Inside Blackwell Mansion" is a historical-fiction digital narrative based on the life story of Sarah Pardee Winchester, the eccentric "haunted" widow of the heir to the Winchester Repeating Arms fortune. On advice from a psychic, Sarah Winchester built a sprawling mansion in San Jose, California, allegedly to avoid the vengeful spirits of the countless many who had been killed by the Winchester rifle. Building went on continuously for 38 years, without plan, and often without apparent purpose, until her death in 1922. Sarah Winchester's story is especially interesting, because it can be considered on so many different levels: spiritualism, skepticism, mythology, tourism, and feminism.

2. Slice

   Lisa (Slice to her friends) has moved to London with her parents to separate her from 'bad influences'. Coming from the US, Slice is immediately intrigued by the creepy old house they move into. But are her suspicions that the house is haunted well-founded, or is it her teenage over-imagination at work?

   Over four days, starting on Tuesday 25th March and ending on Friday, you can follow Slice's story on her own weblog and her parents. If you want to get even more immersed, you can also email the characters and follow them through text messages on Twitter. (Source: We Tell Stories website)

3. Dressage #7

   Claude Maillard and Tibor Papp’s “Dressage no. 7” is glaring example of anthropophagic inflection in early digital poetry. The authors, continuing to use the same language and themes established in previous editions of Alire, cast familiar words and phrases amidst a wider span of new visual contexts. Alternating graphical pages, verbal pages, and pages that incorporate both propel the narrative. Works in Maillard and Papp’s “Dressage” series address the diminishing status of civil liberties in general, inscribing their views in a new media format that revives the aesthetics of an earlier era with new purpose.

6. Fable Girls: A Living Photos Series

   Retellings of classic fairy tales and childrens' stories: Alice in Wonderland, Little Red Riding Hood, Snow White and Cindarella. The stories are told in a series of "living photos", that is images with limited video motion, and in some cases, sentences and phrases are used to tell the story. Readers for the most part move through the stories by clicking "next" arrows, but in some cases - for instance when Red meets the "wolf" - readers are given a choice that affects the rest of the story.

7. Le Récit de 3 Espaces

   Le Récit des 3 Espaces est un récit variable, un récit caméléon, qui change avec chaque lecteur, à chaque lecture, avec chaque média à chaque usage. Un récit à lire et un récit à écrire.

8. Six Sex Scenes

   Six Sex Scenes is a digital narrative. It reads like personal diary, whose pages have been scattered and put back together randomly. It begins as a white page, with black text and six square images. Most of the images are color photographs and appear random and unrelated. Clicking on different images brings you to short texts that recount intimate scenes in the author’s daily life. These texts lead to other texts that follow no logical order. The hypertext pages appear as black writing on a light terra cotta colored background. The color scheme is simple and easy to read. Each text has a title. The author adds spaces between the letters of the title words to create groupings of letters within the words. This makes the titles more visually interesting, and causes the viewer to pay a little extra attention to the words. The text is very personal, and is mainly about sexual confusion and frustration. I felt like I was invading the authors privacy by reading such intimate details, written in such a direct way. The text feels very real, and is at times almost shocking. I became intrigued and curious to find out where the next link would take me.
