The Funeral - an appnovel app for iPhone and iPad

The Funeral is Denmark’s first I-pad novel. In it the reader is presented with the story of Theodor Nicolaisen’s suspicious death and his funeral. By clicking on eight death notices one is introduced to the lives of eight different individuals – each one a world filled with suspense, sadness and love. The narrative of this I-pad novel unfolds in a beautifully illustrated, animated digital universe. The novel consists of one main story and seven death notices. Click on a death notice and up comes a sub-story, one which weaves its fictional central character into the main story. It is up to the reader to choose the order in which the stories are read.

The Funeral is the work of Merete Pryds Helle, a writer with an extensive body of work under her belt. In addition to several novels she has written radio plays, computer games, text-message novels and computer apps.
