Journal of Gaming & Virtual Worlds 16.2 is out now! Special Issue

Intellect is pleased to present Journal of Gaming & Virtual Worlds 16.2!

Special Issue: ‘Games, Books and Gamebooks’

Games and books, understood in the broadest possible sense, interrelate in numerous different ways. Books and games can take each other’s form; they inspire and augment, expand and specify, contextualize and transform one another. We can ‘read’ games, and we can ‘play’ books. This Special Issue discusses game-book hybrids, gamebooks, as complex entities worthy of their own attention. The focus is specifically on the intersections of games and books (instead of, for instance, games and literature, or games and narratives) as these offer a site for a fruitful cross-disciplinary work.
