ABOUT THIS DIGI-NOVEL
On his first weekend night out with friends after a difficult break-up, Mikhail is both apprehensive and excited for the surprises that await him. But he has no idea how surprising his night will become. Whether it's figuring out the mixed signals from an invisible girl or avoiding the wrath of Pastor Tupac Shakur, it'll be a night that Mikhail will remember forever. Please Use Rear Exit will be serialized chapter-by-chapter until its finale. The bigger the demand for new chapters (sign up for the e:zine in the box on the left or holler @SkinnyB via Twitter), the quicker that finale will arrive onto The Internet.
ABOUT THE DIFFERENT VERSIONS
Please Use Rear Exit is an experiment in the way we read. Are the words enough...or is there an aesthetic subtlety missing from the modern eReader? In an ongoing effort to meet the individual preferences of as many readers as possible, P.U.R.E starts its online odyssey with two options: Mid and Low. The Mid version uses Issuu's simple, embeddable technology to display PDFs in a page-turning-friendly format, while the Low version is familiar to anyone who has ever read a blog. An HD version is forthcoming and will cram the flexibility and innovation found on the world wide web into a printed book's traditional format. Also be on the lookout for mobile versions...for those who like to carry around The Internet in their pocket. As of now, the best way to read PURE on your phone is with the Low version.
