They tell stories: you follow along on Google maps

21 Steps: Penguin Books
Penguin Books has launched a new project called We Tell Stories. According to the Penguin blog, it is “part game, part exercise in digital storytelling”. The first tale, The 21 Steps by Charles Cummings, cleverly combines its story with a Google Map adventure. This is a serious time-waster. Sit back, read, click the markers and you soon find yourself on the train to Heathrow. Scary prospect on a bank holiday weekend.

To enter the competition, you have to read all the stories posted as they unfold (weekly) and then answer six questions. The winner receives £13,000 worth of books. Enough even for a lengthy delay at Terminal 2.
