Patchwork Girl

By Shelley Jackson. What if Mary Shelley herself made the monster, not the fictional Dr. Frankenstein? And what if the monster was a woman, and fell in love with Mary Shelley, and travelled to America?

afternoon, a story

By Michael Joyce. The hypertext fiction classic. “I want to say I may have seen my son die this morning.”

Those Trojan Girls

By Mark Bernstein. Six months have passed since the start of the Occupation. Everything is fairly normal, considering. Cassie stands (in torn jeans) athwart the road of history, shouting “Stop!” Those topless towers are going to burn.

At Eastgate, we create new hypertext technologies and craft artisanal writing tools that harness the power of the link. We also publish original hypertext fiction and nonfiction: serious, interactive writing. These outstanding hypertexts are collected in libraries and studied in universities and schools throughout the world, and have been widely discussed in the research literature.
