Bloody Chamber

Authored by Donna Leishman
Published by Artist in 2002

"A kinetic and interactive piece of fiction based on the historical French folk tale Bluebeard. The piece depicts a sinister love story but unlike most literature, the work uses flash. This distinct creation gives Leishman's unique portrayal of the historical events regarding a diabolical husband who gives his latest wife a key to his bloody chamber. He stresses that she must not enter the room however, out of curiosity she goes against his will and enters the forbidden chamber where she discovers the bodies of his past wives (Leishman)."
