It’s been announced that Anne Rice’s 1984 vampire story The Master of Rampling Gate is to be turned into a vook.
What’s a vook? It’s a “video book” – a multimedia extension of the normal reading experience. According to Vook:
You can read your book, watch videos that enhance the story and connect with authors and your friends through social media all on one screen, without switching between platforms.
Vook says that their version of Rice’s vamp story will:
offer readers, vampire fans, lovers of Gothic fiction and everyone interested in new ways to experience stories an innovative take on Anne Rice’s classic blend of the romantic, the uncanny, and the truly frightening.
The vook version of The Master of Rampling Gate is expected to include an interview with Rice and is scheduled for release on March 1st.
