This author has written an earlier series: Atherton, which had its own website about the 'world' he had created. This time he's written a very scary book for teens where we have 2 characters - the boy who has written a journal of his experiences and the girl who has video links embedded into his story. It really is quite incredible and will be interesting to see how readers react to this format.

Skeleton Creek
By Patrick Carman.
"Although housebound following an eerie accident, teenaged Ryan continues to investigate the strange occurrences in his hometown of Skeleton Creek, recording his findings in a journal and viewing email video clips sent by fellow detective Sarah. The reader may view Sarah's videos on a website by using links and passwords found in the text." - from the book's summary.
According to one reviewer, Sarah’s video is even more frightening giving a Blair Witch element to the whole experience for the reader. A fascinating mix of story by book / text and visual / video. The two blend together to heighten the reader/viewer’s experience of the building fear for the characters as they are drawn to a derelict dredge and the secret it holds.
