Postmodern Prose

Slowly Downward, to quote its own press, is "[a] site that contains short prose in surreal, irreal and stream of consciousness style, as well as a quiz that spent time in an art museum." It's intuitive, left or right navigation and TOC-like (Table of Contents) structure mimic a book. This isn't exactly an accident. The story cache is called a library.

Each library link goes to another set of links, that then lead to prose pieces. This "drill down" or layered effect is a staple of epubbing, I've noticed. It's an easy way to achieve dynamism.

One selection, on the main page, is available in audio format.
