In 1985, a volcano erupted in Columbia. The heat from the volcano melted sheets of ice, resulting in mudslides. More than 23,000 people were killed. The media focused much attention on a 13-year-old girl trapped in the mud. The girl is called Azucena, and her rescuer is named Rolf Carle.

“That Feeling You Can Only Say What It Is In French”
By Stephen KingAudioplay Adapted
by Eric R. Hill“That Feeling, You Can Only Say What It Is in French” is a horror short story by Stephen King. It was published in The New Yorker magazine on June 22, 1998 and was later included in King's short story collection Everything's Eventual... The story is about a married woman who is on a trip to Florida with her husband to celebrate their 25th anniversary, but no matter how many times she feels deja vu in the car, she keeps waking up in the plane and experiencing the same events over and over again… Stephen King suggests that Hell is not "other people" but rather repetition, enduring the same pain over and over again without end.

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.

The New York Times called “Gone Home” the greatest video game love story ever told. It’s beautiful in its desolation… It's haunting in its endless hallways, and the seemingly simple story doesn’t exaggerate and it doesn’t pander. It wholly represents itself in a time and place that as time goes on fewer and fewer of us will be able or willing to remember. The awkward teenage years. When love hurts and life is a bitch and the whole world has abandoned you. The verisimilitude of solitude.

The first in our season-long series arguing the merits of video games as an independent art form.

Even the tallest of tales are rooted in some sort of truth...
Originally told by Allen Morse from the small town of Calais, Vermont, "A Strange Tale" speaks of a first-hand account of a handful of residents freezing their elderly and infirm in order to save resources enough to survive the brutal winters - only to turn around in the spring and return their frozen kin to perfect health in time to plant the spring corn.
My family and the Morses have history going back to the founding of the village of Calais, and I've heard talk of this as an old secret of the mountains before I ever discovered the published account. Did the founding families of Calais possess the secrets of human hiberation, or is this just another of Allen Morse's tall tales? You be the judge...
