March 21, 2008 2:39 PM Subscribe
We Tell Stories is a new interactive fiction site from Penguin with 6 stories based on Penguin Classics. The first story online is The 21 Steps by Charles Cumming, based on Buchan's classic thriller The Thirty-Nine Steps. It is told through narrative bubbles that pop up as the story picks its way across a Google Earth-like satellite map, and describes the experience of a man suddenly caught up in sinister events that he can’t seem to escape. Future classics will include The Haunted Dolls House (M R James), Thérèse Raquin (Emile Zola), Fairy Tales (Hans Christian Anderson), Hard Times (Dickens) and Tales from the 1001 Nights.

Yep, sorry. Weird how the URL didn't show up on preview - I think because I used "www" and the original poster didn't.
