A collection of mixed media and epistolary/immersive books

Books that ignore the traditional way of telling a story. These books tell their stories in unexpected ways, through letters, transcripts, diaries, documents, text messages, or unconventional layouts.

Epistolary for the internet age. Told through interviews, news clips, podcasts, and transcripts.

A silly little collection of a trend I've noticed recently, usually among thrillers. Some of these probably have alternate covers as well, but I'm including them because I've seen one which fits. Suggestions welcome! Simply ask yourself: Is house blue? Is window yellow?

So I LOVE the show Cold Case (ilysm Lilly Rush/Scotty Valens). Cold case mystery/thrillers live in that unsettling space where justice failed the first time, and the world moved on as if the truth didn’t matter. These stories, like the show, return to those forgotten crimes years, even decades later, when a detective, journalist, podcaster, or relentless outsider decides to dig deeper. #tacklingunfinishedbusiness #coldcases
