“Mind f*cking melting.” —BENJAMIN PERCY“Cosmically creepy as hell. A nightmarish experience.” —DAN CHAON"Every turn of the page is a creepy as f*ck critical success D20 roll. Winkler warmed my nerd heart while draining its blood.” — SEQUOIA NAGAMATSUHorror Movie meets The Blair Witch Project in this supernatural chokehold of a book told entirely through found documents: the cursed story of an unwitting couple ensnared by a mysterious tabletop role-playing game, who are commanded, as the game’s intentions become clearer, to do the unthinkable.Cole and Lorraine playtest board games for some extra cash as they save up to buy a home. But after a series of bizarre coincidences, and signing a strange NDA, the couple finds on their porch a mysterious indie developer’s tabletop role-playing game called The Ship of Death. The game relies heavily on the players’ imaginations, and takes up an ever-growing amount of space: in their kitchen, and in their minds. As its true sinister nature becomes clearer, and its forces capture more in its web, the boundary between the game and reality begins to dissolve. . . and the pair are instructed to possess a stranger’s soul.Told entirely through game reports, emails, game forum posts, personal journals, and police reports, reading The Ship of Death feels like a dangerous dice roll. It’s a sleep-stealing, possession-inducing work of intense, intelligent found cosmic horror that announces Kyle Winkler as a spectacular voice in the genre.

Your Mind Is the Devil's PlaygroundHere's the truth: The devil can't beat you on even ground.So he creeps his way into your mind, weaving words and situations into lies you take as truth: I'm a failure. Something's wrong with me. God's mad at me. Nobody cares about me. These devil-crafted lies create the emotional, psychological and spiritual conflicts that rob you of your God-given purpose. Yet you can win these battles. Here are the biblical tools you need to recognize the sour, subtle voice of the Accuser. Once you do, you will see his toxic thought-patterns and destructive lies for the slander they are. And you will say with unshakable confidence and courage: "Shut up, devil!""In this insightful message, my friend Kyle Winkler exposes the lies of the enemy and empowers us to fight back. If you've ever wrestled with the accusations of the devil, then this book will equip you to shut him up."--JOHN BEVERE, bestselling author and co-founder of Messenger International and MessengerX"I'm thrilled about Kyle's new book. Using biblical wisdom, neuroscience and his own experience in battle, Kyle will help you silence the enemy's taunts, break free from the lies that bind you and live life with bold, humble faith."--SUSIE LARSON, talk radio host, bestselling author and national speaker
