Death by Cliché

To Sartre, Hell was other people. To the game designer, Hell is the game. Damico writes games for a living. When called in to rescue a local roleplaying game demo, Damico is shot in the head by a loony fan.

He awakens in a game. A game full of hackney’s tropes and clichéd plots. A game he was there to save, run by the man who murdered him just moments ago. A game that has just become world-swap fantasy. Damico, to his horror, has become the heart of the cliché.

Set on their quest in a scene that would make Ed Wood blush, Damico discovers a new wrinkle. As a game designer, he is a creative force in this broken place. His presence touches the two-dimensional inhabitants. First a peasant, then a barmaid, then his character’s own father…all come alive.

But the central question remains. Can Damico escape, or is he trapped in this nightmare? Forever. Wait, what? This is a comedy? Ignore all that. Death by Cliché is a heartwarming tale of catastrophic brain damage. Share it with someone you love. Or like. Or anyone at all. Buy the book. Based on a true story.

“Where are you taking me, and why can’t I open this door?”

-Kevin J. Anderson, New York Times bestselling author of Blood of the Cosmos. “I totally didn’t just make up this quote without reading the book.”

-Dan Wells, Author of The Devils Only Friend “I told Bob I would heartily recommend this book, and he said I could have Mister Whiskers back.”

-Dan Willis, Coauthor of Dragons of the Confederacy
