The Ship of Death: A cosmic horror novel about a haunted board game, a twisted take on The Blair Witch Project

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.
