High Couch Archive: The Film That Never Was

highcoucharchive.org Observed source
Editorial interest 86/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A fan-made archive for an imaginary 1980 film adaptation of Janet Morris’s High Couch of Silistra.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-28 issue.

Field notes

The project separates its invented filmography from its source material with repeated fan-art notices: High Couch of Silistra is presented as a nonexistent 1980 studio picture, while Janet Morris’s Silistra Quartet is identified as the real literary source. Its archive structure includes imagined production notes, radio copy, character studies, an arcade cabinet called Estri: The Road of Trials, and an unofficial trailer. The site also accepts fan-art submissions and links to the printed books.
