[edit] Enhanced eBooks
Gift: Andrea J. Buchanan:
Designed and formatted by Open Road
NOTES: "The fully enhanced e-book, including embedded video featuring FreddeGredde as well as some spooky triggered effects, is available for iPad only. But all e-platforms contain links to music, plus a journal written by one of the characters and a graphic novel, which tells the story from a different perspective and was illustrated by Daring Book artist Alexis Seabrook."

Kadath:
Designed and formatted by @studiowalrus
NOTES: "Our answer: we rethought the WHOLE concept. After months of hard work, it is a completely new version of Kadath’s digital edition that we are now proud to present. It is still an .epub file full of HTML5, CSS3 and Javascript tricks. And more than just reading an ebook, by exploring this mysterious and sprawling universe, you will actually be able to discover an entirely new way of reading a story."
