Tumbarumba: a surreal fiction anthology in the form of a browser plugin



Ethan Ham sez,

Turbulence.org recently released "Tumbarumba," a project by Benjamin Rosenbaum and myself (Ethan Ham).

Tumbarumba is an anthology in the form of a browser add-on. To read the stories, readers must stumble upon them while browsing the web. The browser add-on will occasionally insert a story fragment into a web page as it loads it. The result is a disorienting surreal sentence that sometimes is nonsensical and sometimes amusingly close making sense. If the reader spots the fragment, they can interact with it in a way that will cause the full story to appear–albeit in the format of the web page on which it was found.

The authors in the anthology are:

Haddayr Copley-Woods,
Greg van Eekhout,
Stephen Gaskell,
James Patrick Kelly,
Mary Anne Mohanraj,
David Moles,
John Phillip Olsen,
Tim Pratt,
Kiini Ibura Salaam,
David J. Schwartz,
Heather Shaw,
Jeff Spock
