Death Game

By Joseph Sale

A new game, a terrifyingly dark world, and the battle for the human soul...

Levi Jensen, once the world's greatest gamer, grapples with a fractured mind while his friend, Amir, prepares to unveil a revolutionary gaming experience: The Tarjian Chronicles. But as the launch approaches, a glitch threatens real-life consequences for players-death in the game means death in real life. Trapped in a dark and crumbling virtual world, Levi and Amir must confront their past and battle to save both their friendship and their lives.

Death Game is a grippingly subversive GameLit thriller, blending horror and dark fantasy, exploring the boundaries of imagination and the price of redemption.

Reviews

"Joseph Sale fans, rejoice Death Game is at once a propulsive thriller, a story of romance and friendship, and an exploration of reality and the self. Joseph Sale uses his mastery of manipulating light and shadow (micro in his prose and macro in his characters, settings, and themes) to reveal the beauty of darkness and to glorify goodness, meanwhile delivering a wildly exciting adventure which could be described as Tolkien a la David Lynch."

-Christa Wojciechowski, author of Popsicle, editor of Gamut Magazine

"Death Game balances its readers - and its characters - on a razor's edge between exhilaration and panic from start to finish."

-Lezlie of The Nerdy Narrative
