It’s Nick Bantock for the digerati, really. Daughters of Freya is a mystery novella delivered in installments to your inbox, complete with “links to newspaper and magazine articles, detective reports, photographs and other items that contain clues to the mystery.” Like we said, Griffin and Sabine for the email age. And perhaps there’s a plot.
The digibook is the co-creation of Toronto writer and filmmaker Michael Betcherman, and follows the story of a journo who is sent to investigate “a cult that believes sex is the solution to the world’s problems.” Well, it’s a better beat than manning the desk at the Star Radio Room. Sort of.
You can get the first three emails free, and then pay a small fee to read the whole thing, if you’re sufficiently hooked. Kind of a neat way to try out a read, and the formal opposite of Canada’s new Cancon canon.
