McDaid’s 1993, hopefully-soon-to-be-a-cult-classic “Uncle Buddy’s Phantom Funhouse” is science fiction told through science fiction.
“It was an attempt create a new kind of non-linear fiction entirely through artifacts,” he said. “The premise is that you, as the reader, have come into possession of a vanished science fiction writer’s hard drive, and you need to piece together the story.”
