LOCKED IN A VACANCY EP12: "So On He Fares" by George Moore

• "Zombies" (Nov 2013 of Playboy) - High schoolers begin electrocuting themselves by applying a cardiac defibrillator's electrodes to their temples and turning it on, which results in permanent brain damage. Dubbing it "The Great Leap Backwards" more and more people begin electrocuting themselves in order to willfully return to a state of childlike ignorance. At the airport, the narrator, Trevor, applies the electrodes to his head and is about to turn it on, but his Uncle stops him.

HAUNTED is a novel made up of twenty-three horrifying, hilarious, and stomach-churning stories. They're told by people who have answered an ad for a writer's retreat and unwittingly joined a "Survivor" -like scenario where the host withholds heat, power, and food. As the storytellers grow more desperate, their tales become more extreme, and they ruthlessly plot to make themselves the hero of the reality show that will surely be made from their plight. This is one of the most disturbing and outrageous books you'll ever read, one that could only come from the mind of Chuck Palahniuk.

Journey and A Memoir Blue are candidates for video games as an art form for their unique approach to the silent narrative.  Much like our earlier installment highlighting GRIS, a visual story can be just as compelling as one reliant on narration and text.  A Memoir Blue shows us an interactive poem, written without words, that taps into the wonder of childhood and the challenges of being a parent.  And Journey is the same parable of the hero's journey we’ve been retelling since the dawn of time - drenched in desert imagery and biblical allusions that implore us to continue moving forward when all hope is lost and we feel our most alone.
