In order to heighten the reading experience of readers 18-30 we created a line of alternate reality true crime books that take readers to the scenes of crimes.

A Game’s A Foot!

The first ever ARC Novel will be released in Chicago, Illinois and is based off of Erik Larson’s Devil in the White City, the tale of the dastardly H.H. Holmes. This new adventure will take readers through the 1893 World’s Fair to where his infamous murder hotel once stood. There we will offer readers an augmented reality version of the murder hotel where they will find H.H. Holmes himself.

We will be extending these releases in different cities with other true crime stories to allow people all over the U.S. to be able to have this killer reading experience.
