INFINITE SUMMER
Dracula
Sponsored by TMN, the online book club reads the vampire novel that sired them all.» READ ALONG
A few months ago a group of writers with Web sites decided to get together and make a book. The idea was for each writer to compose a story on the theme ‘How-to,’ to result in a bound volume titled ‘Manual.’
Of course, with all of us being Web writers, it seemed a Web-based distribution was the right solution. Therefore, ‘Manual’ has become a PDF and is available, for free, as a download. We recommend that you don’t read it on the screen; instead, print it out, take it home, read it in bed, read it in the garage. Just take it slow and enjoy. (PDFs require the free Adobe Acrobat Reader software, which is probably already installed on your machine.)
note: ‘Manual’ is not a TMN production; we were just lucky enough to be involved.

Hamilton, Leslie Harpold, Scott David Herman, Dennis A. Mahoney, Alexis Massie, Magdalen Powers, Tobias Seamon, and Andrew Womack.
