Overview
From Evil Dead to The Ring, there’s just something trapped in dead media that keeps drawing us back: a combination of horror and nostalgia that’s irresistible. In The Black Tapes, Libby Cudmore and Nick Mamatas bring you haunting tales of lost media, real and imagined, from the best writers working today.
It’s a promise and a threat—if it’s in print, on film, on tape, or saved digitally, it's forever.
Or so one might think.
Everyone from message board mavens and freelance journalists to private detectives and middle-class family guys has revived the search for lost media—forgotten flash games, snatches of song, never-seen TV pilots, and even rare slot machines. The resulting tales and the often-dead media formats they’re trapped on will not be fading into the past; they’ll be seared on your corneas—and stored in your brain—forever.
