In 1987, Congressman Benjamin Hardy III died by suicide on live television amidst accusations of political corruption. Years later, rumors of a recording surfaced among VHS trading groups and urban legend chat rooms. Dubbed the "Duncan Tape," after the deceased cameraman who attempted to sell the video, the rumors allege that anyone who watches the tape is driven to suicide. Or so the story goes. In truth, no one has ever seen the supposed Duncan Tape, presumably because it doesn't exist. It's a ghost story perpetuated on the forums and chat rooms of the internet, another handful of bytes scattered across the Information Superhighway at blistering 56K modem speeds. For Robby and his friends, an urban legend is the last thing on their minds when a boring Friday night presents a chance to download porn.

The appeal of Scanlines is, for me, nostalgic. The characters are a bit older than I am, but we're near enough in age that I remember the technological world they're navigating. I remember, too, the media content that clearly inspired the novella - not the suicide of Budd Dwyer, thankfully, but The Ring (and maybe some Blair Witch?). It's fun and it's quick and it's effective, engaging in the same affective tropes as those familiar horror films. A solid entry for contemporary nostalgic supernatural horror. ( )
