Bestselling novelist Anne Rice launches her inaugural vook today, a multimedia version of her 1984 vampire story, "The Master of Rampling Gate."
To find out more, we caught up with Vook CEO Brad Inman--who said the company has more than 500 titles planned for 2010. According to Inman, the company shot between six and eight hours of footage for the Rice vook, including a New Orleans tour with her son, Rice interviews, and expert commentary.
Inman added some advice about video length: "While I think that video content and length will always depend first and foremost on the text, it seems that, generally speaking, shorter videos are better suited for our vooks. 1 to 2 minute videos are long enough to provide context or illustration to the text while still being short enough to keep the reader's attention and interest.
