HIGH LEVEL CRIME DESERVES TOP SHELF NOIR

My little contribution to bright prospects in the genre for 2010.

I just dig Anthony Zuiker's Level 26 and his approach towards his series of digi-novels that combine print, web and videos in full multi-media interactivity. Am sure there'll be a platform game of this soon, as well.

"Level 26," from Anthony E. Zuiker, the creator of CSI. Level 26.com and the Level 26 books combine to form a "digi-novel," a multi-platform experience that moves the reader from passages in the books to videos and interactive content right here on the Level 26 website.

The first installment in the series, "Level 26: Dark Origins" tells the story of Steve Dark, a former FBI agent pulled out of retirement to hunt down a serial killer unlike anything the world has seen before.

Hope I can score a copy of the book soon/somewhere locally.


Here's the official trailer:





More details here. In the Year of the Tiger I hope we all find the strength to roar and growl. Happy New Year ghoulies!
