Hypertext Novels
 List of some of the available hypertext
novels – some viewable online.
Reviews
of Patchwork Girl by Shelley
Jackson. Patchwork Girl is a very interesting and
artistic novel but very confusing to me as a first-time reader
of hypertextual novels. I am not used to reading a novel that
has neither a beginning nor an end.
Review
of Victory Garden
by Stuart Moulthrop.
Victory Garden has been much easier for me to understand
than Patchwork Girl. Reading it reminds me of when I
was younger and liked to read the choose-your-path mystery books.
I found it more interesting to explore the limited web version
as opposed to the full Storyspace
version. Perhaps my aversion to the Storyspace setting comes
from it looking so much like a DOS system area.
Hegirascope
by Stuart Moulthrop. I found Hegirascope
on the web, and it is even more confusing. It has been designed
to replace the current page with a new page after a designated
amount of time, approximately 3 to 5 seconds. There are links
you can choose to take before this happens, but you had better
read fast. Reviewed
to be much like TV.
Review of afternoon,
a story by Michael
Joyce. I enjoyed afternoon the most. Even though
it jumped around like the others, I was able to piece it together
a little more easily, perhaps because I got somewhat used to
the way the hypertext novels were progressing. Although I enjoy
the creativity and artistry of these novels, I still wish I
knew how they ended.

Systems Inc. Large listing of available literary hypertexts developed in StorySpace.
WebPage designed in the same software as the majority
of hypertext novels.
Research paper written as
hypertext. Research papers as hypertexts make a great deal of sense to me. There is a
great deal of information that can be referenced further through the links as opposed to
just the actual written paper.
The
Victorian Web by George
P. Landow, A beautiful mixture of information, it actually
belongs under all of the headings listed here.
