The Black Tapes (Haunting Tales of Lost and Dead Media)

It’ s a promise and a threat— if it’ s in print, on film, on tape, saved digitally, it’ s forever. Or so one might think. Everyone from message boards mavens and freelance journalists to private detectives and middle-class family guys have revived the search for lost media— forgotten flash games, snatches of song, never-seen TV pilots, and even rare slot machines. The resulting tales and the often-dead media formats they’ re trapped on, will not be fading into the past; they’ ll be seared on your corneas, and stored in your brain, forever.
