Alone: an immersive literary experience in Second Life –

Alone: an immersive literary experience in Second Life – | Second Life Destinations | Scoop.it

Often working in collaboration with Angelika Corral – with whom he once co-ran the always engaging DaphneArts gallery and arts centre – Sheldon earned a rightful reputation for developing immersive art installations leveraging the (then new) capabilities of SL Experiences. In particular, these installations sought to bring the work of poets and artists from the physical world to life within the virtual, with a noted focus on the life and works of Edgar Allan Poe (as covered in these pages, for example, by A dream within a dream: celebrating Poe in Second Life (2017) and Annabel Lee in Second Life (2019)).

With Alone, Sheldon continues within this theme, presenting installation with a personal dedication to Angelika, featuring what is Poe’s most revealing – and potentially his best – verse. It may not be as well known as the likes of The Raven or Annabel Lee – in fact it wasn’t even published until well after his death in 1849, finally appearing in print in 1875, having been held within the possessions of a family in Baltimore – but what it does say does much to help our understanding of Poe’s nature and what lay behind his writing.

Gothic Romance and Danger in Hera's Victoriana — Second life

Gothic Romance and Danger in Hera's Victoriana — Second life | Second Life Destinations | Scoop.it

In Bram Stoker's gothic work "Dracula," Mina Murray and her Lucy Westenra find themselves staying in lodging near the hauntingly beautiful Whitby Abbey. Mina notes that the place is "a house to let, Furnished, moderately and sufficiently for our purpose.”

My primary interest is obviously Hotels, Guesthouses and other accommodations, so I was excited to see that SL creator Hera has breathed new life into this iconic guesthouse, resurrecting it from the pages of the film and novel and bringing it to Second Life. But Hera's project goes far beyond a single building; in her new project, Victoriana, she has meticulously crafted Whitby, a stunning recreation of Victorian East London and Vlad Dracul’s Castle.

 Hillvale Bay (Moderate) - Second Life | Second Life Destinations | Scoop.it

Owner and sim designer is Lauren Bentham

Hillvale Bay opened on April 26, 2024 and fits seamlessly into the other fantastic regions that Lauren owns.

Hillvale Bay is U-shaped. To the side are the rental properties and in between there is a run-down amusement park, as the post-apocalypse theme was also taken up in the new region. A mountain range surrounds the island, but it is far away and therefore hard to see.
