Monsters Calling Home is an electronic literature (elit), hypertext adaptation of the play Monsters Calling Home written by Andrew Reid, featured in George Mason University’s Annual Ten-Minute Play Festival in 2014. This project was prompted by the University of Mary Washington’s course English 376VV: Electronic Literature. The adaptation has the exact dialogue from the original play script, but does change the order in which the characters are presented. While the play has the characters’ story lines jumping back and forth, the elit adaptation forces readers to follow the various characters’ stories in a specific and defined path. This elit adaptation features HTML5 code, HTML and CSS editing, and was made with Twine 2.0 & SugarCube (v1.0.17).
