The San Francisco Chronicle’s Mick LaSalle is writing “The Event” and is using an interesting device to release his novel: a website that’ll offer readers weekly installments. Here’s his description:
Imagine if everything the Religious Right believes about the End Times is true, except the Rapture doesn’t take them and the antichrist turns out to be their favorite politician . . . That’s the story of The Event, which will be serialized on this space, one Episode per week, over the next few months.
