The Lurker Files Wiki



Welcome to the The Lurker Files Wiki
Back in the 90's there were a series of books/Web episodes about The Lurker. It was never fully revealed who was The Lurker. Hopefully, now we can find out who was The Lurker.

... go back before it's too late.
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?
