Roll the dice. Roll well. Or this game might be your last…
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.
