The Dead Game

A Collection of Horrors

A Zimbell House Anthology

Chasing the promise of freedom, wealth, or fame, many will play the game, but none will win. In The Dead Game, the lines between the real and the imaginary, the dead and the living blur together, as competitors, motivated by greed, curiosity, or survival, compete for their prizes. When players' arrogance, vanity, or disregard for the rules begins to emerge, a roll of the dice, a click of the mouse, or even a childish prank or game of hide-and-seek can quickly seal their fate.

No matter how strong, skilled, or cunning the players may be, they can never trounce the will of a vindictive ghost, a grief-stricken lover, or a merciless deck of cards.

Can you resist the call to play The Dead Game?
