 
F13
At the very top of your seemingly benign keyboard is a row
of function keys. On a standard PC, they number F1 to F12. Key F13 doesnt exist.
Even on a MAC, the F13 is an unassuming little key that simply captures a displayed
screen. What if an F13 with some real potency appeared? Something menacing, a merger of
technology and terror brought straight to your desktop. Would you dare strike such a key?
A provocative yet unanswered question for horror fans and computer users. Unanswered until
now
Soon, Stephen Kings* F13 will be available to all, but perhaps best reserved
for only the bravest of souls. With F13, Stephen King brings his own enigmatic brand
of interactive horror to the screens of everyday computers. F13 is presented in an
imaginative and easy to use format. It is an interactive time-killer and exceptional
desktop companion filled with bone-chilling realism and delivered in distinct
Stephen King style.
FEATURES
"Everything's
Eventual": For fans and collectors everywhere, Stephen Kings
F13 offers a rare opportunity to own a title that has never been distributed in book
form. "Everythings Eventual" is a suspense filled, quick read novella
featuring a surly main character, Dink Earnshaw, a social outcast and high school dropout
with peculiar talents. A twist of fate and command of interactive technology places him in
a position to apply his deadly abilities.
To set the stage, F13 serves up
"Everythings Eventual" with detailed illustrations and eerie audio files.
The F13 Digital Bookmark is included and allows you to keep your place in
Kings gripping tale.
F13 MINI-GAMES:
The F13 Mini-Games require very little practice and can be jumped into with relative
ease, allowing computer users everywhere to enjoy a quick and entertaining interactive
experience.
Bug Splat: Cockroaches hatch,
multiply and scurry across your computer screen. Theyre everywhere, scrambling and
wiggling until you put them out of their misery. Grab a fly swatter, then a newspaper, and
in final frenzy a hammer and squash them into a disgusting gooey splat. Nasty fun for
roach hunters far and wide!
No Swimming:
Not just your usual cyber-fishies! Your tanks infested with ravenous Piranha!
Fortunately, youve got a variety of "livestock" to serve up to these
swimming meat processors. Once dinner is served, you get to watch the aqua-buffet in
progress! Beware, forgetting to feed these pets may have dire consequences to your screen.
Whack-A-Zombie:
Youre the caretaker of a decaying and forgotten cemetery. Up to now life on the job
has been fairly boring. But tonight, zombies are climbing out of their graves, in search
of human flesh. To keep things in control, pick up your shovel and whack em back
into the afterlife.
SCREAMSAVERS
The Master of Horror has taken over your monitor, banishing the standard fare of flying
kitchen appliances and celebrity mug shots to a murky cyberworld. Theyve been
replaced by "ScreamSavers"
Murder and Mayhem:
Darkness falls on a charming Victorian home. Its lovely and unsuspecting occupant
moves from room to room completing her nightly rituals. She is unaware of the intruder
that is stalking her until its too late. Season after season, this homicidal maniac
makes his mark and keeps the funeral parlor and moving company buzzing with business.
Creature Under My Bed:
A calm image of someone in a deep slumber under the blankets changes to a nightmare when
something under the carpet takes shape and moves towards the bed. Gargoyles fly overhead
and other mischievous happenings surround the occupant. Sudden distractions cause the
demons to fall back into the shadows.

during key plot events and the click, click of the keyboard continues as the story
unfolds.
The Works:
A selection of Stephen Kings published titles and summaries spontaneously appear in
abstract format, reminding you of each haunting tale.
Its Just Lightning:
An electrical surge results in a power failure, sending you down to the basement in the
midst of a lightning storm to fix that blown fuse. A creepy clown is perched on an open
trunk and he seems to move with every flash of lightning.
Eyes See You:
You remember looking at paintings and no matter where you stood, you felt as though you
were being watched? Multiple sets of eyes lurk on a flesh colored background watching your
every move.
