Update: Has it really been 20 years?!?! I feel great this someone is still keeping this wiki alive!

A long time ago there was a computer. Then there was another computer. Then more. People decided to connect these computers and the internet was born. There people who would troll these computers collecting information. One such person was The Lurker who used the information found there to force people to do his bidding. The question remains: Who was the Lurker?

I don't know why the Lurker did what he did. But now, more importantly, I don't know who the Lurker was.

The series came out around 1995 (maybe 1996). I was in college, trying to earn my associates in a degree I have never since used. I just remember needing something to blow off some steam and I found Random House hosting a collection of books called The Lurker Files. Please remember this was a time computers were exploding, cell phones were still a novelty; not a necessity like today. Over the years I have been looking for someone to create some website about this series, but no one has. This has changed.

The episodes came out online every Tuesday and Friday. There was also the online Ratskellar, more of a comment page than a chat room, but thanks to that we have a record of it.

The idea of the series was the old books would be taken offline and published. Only three books were published, then the series vanished. Did the Lurker have something to do with the vanishing?

What I know: I have three physical books: Faceless by [|Scott Ciencin], ([|1996]) [|ISBN 978-0-6798-8235-0] Know Fear by Scott Ciencin, ([|1996]) [|ISBN 978-0-6798-8236-7] Nemesis by Scott Ciencin, ([|1997]) [|ISBN 978-0-6798-8506-1]

There are also diaries of some of the main characters. Gibson, Gia - Faceless Book 01 Dvorak, Jenny - Faceless Book 01 McKiernan, Darren - Faceless Book 01

Also there are books that were only available online. Incarnate by Scott Ciencin, ([|1997]) [|ISBN 978-0-6798-8507-8] Apparition by Scott Ciencin, ([|1997]) [|ISBN 978-0-6798-8634-1]

Then a new author took over. Triad by Mark Cerasini, ([|1997]) [|ISBN 978-0-6798-8635-8] Reborn by Mark Cerasini, ISBN 0679890750 Clandestine by Mark Cerasini, ISBN 0679890742

If anyone can find interviews from the authors please feel free to email the links or send me any scans. Also if anyone has any fan art (drawings, writings, etc) on this series please send them to me so I can start a page. Also if there are similiar stories please let me know and I'll try to setup links. Thanks!

Update: I got some new members!!! Ok, I got one, but that's a lot for me! I know I get viewers and I think they can post somehow without being a member but you know. I just wanted to say if I go against any copyright please let me know who The Lurker was and I'll take this website down. Much love!
