'H8 Society' is a new novel that combines storytelling, original graphics and crowd-sourced music all in one piece of literature. With more and more books going digital, authors have begun taking advantage of the opportunity to feature creative content from different mediums. 'H8 Society' manages to blend three different mediums for a multi-sensory reading experience.
The book is written by the authors 2Dans while the graphics are supplied by illustrator Bill Sinkiewicz. The soundtrack and audio portion of the novel comes from crowd-sourced music. As readers move forward in the book, an embedded play button will blast one of the songs from the novel's extensive playlist. As Kenny Ochoa explains, "music is integrated throughout the story so that the plot-line is about love versus hate, about folks coming together for the sake of good."
The multi-media approach creates an immersive storytelling experience that readers can appreciate on a number of different levels.
