Description

READERS ARE RAVING ABOUT THE SHIP OF DEATH'In contention for my best book of 2026' 'WILD in the best way' 'Jumanji but more dark and sinister' 'I absolutely ATE. THIS. UP' 'WOW! THE MOST INSANE READ...' 'As a huge DnD fan, it scratched that itch' 'I don't even have words. I am OBSESSED' 'Holy f*cking fuck' Chuck Wendig'Winkler warmed my nerd heart while draining its blood' Sequoia Nagamatsu'A nightmarish experience' Dan ChaonTHE DICE ROLL. DARKNESS ANSWERS.Cole and Lorraine playtest board games for some extra cash as they save up to buy a house. But after a series of bizarre coincidences, and signing a strange NDA, the couple finds a mysterious tabletop role-playing game on their doorstep: The Ship of Death.The game feeds on the players' imaginations, and takes up an ever-growing amount of space: in their home, and in their minds.As its true sinister nature becomes clearer and more victims fall under its spell, the boundary between the game and reality begins to dissolve. . . and the pair are instructed to possess a stranger's soul.But with the stakes this high, losing this game might just mean the end of everything . . .Told entirely through game cards, emails, forum posts, personal journals and police reports, The Ship of Death is a sleep-stealing, possession-inducing work of intense cosmic horror that announces Kyle Winkler as a spectacular voice in the genre.
