Have J. C. Hutchins and Jordan Weisman revolutionized the book industry? Probably not.
But this supernatural thriller looks like it’ll be a lot of fun. Called “Transmedia Storytelling” by Gore Verbinski, this book, the attached items and the active phone number and websites allow the reader to immerse herself in Zack’s world.
Enter the world of therapist Zach Taylor: Read the novel, dial the phone numbers, find Zack’s pin number and pick up his messages, examine the documents such as a birth certificate, death certificate and psychiatric report, study the pictures, visit the websites that hide the clues the reader can tease out and follow. Check out these images of the items that come packaged with the book.
