SHIP OF DEATH NOVEL (30 Sep Release)

Cole and Lorraine playtest board games for some extra cash as they save up to buy a home. But after a series of bizarre coincidences¸ and signing a strange NDA¸ the couple finds on their porch a mysterious indie developer’s tabletop role-playing game called The Ship of Death. The game relies heavily on the players' imaginations¸ and takes up an ever-growing amount of space: in their kitchen¸ and in their minds. As its true sinister nature becomes clearer¸ and its forces capture ever more in its web¸ the boundary between the game and reality begins to dissolve. . . and the pair are instructed to possess another's soul.Told entirely through game reports¸ emails¸ game forum posts¸ personal journals¸ and police reports¸ reading The Ship of Death feels like a dangerous dice roll. It's a sleep-stealing¸ possession-inducing work of intense¸ intelligent cosmic found horror that announces Kyle Winkler as a spectacular voice in the genre.
