The game you can’t stop playing… even if it kills you.**

Fun Times at the Bloodbath may be the most insanely violent video game ever designed. The only thing more addictive than playing is the chaos it unleashes. Currently, only a select few have played the beta version, and it’s to die for… literally.

Players are instantly addicted to the point of death: one man dies of dehydration, a woman brutally murders her husband with a meat cleaver after he unplugs the console, and others violently defend their right to keep playing and harm anyone who gets in the way.

Margo’s brother is one of the game’s victims, and she is determined to uncover the game’s creators and prevent anyone else from succumbing to its addictive grasp. As she discovers the sinister plot behind Fun Times at the Bloodbath, Margo tries to warn people before it launches to the general public. But with threats to herself, her family, and anyone who helps her, she’s right to be scared…

When Fun Times at the Bloodbath launches nationwide, the United States is plunged into chaos, and the rest of the world is next. As the carnage spreads, Margo and others impacted by the game’s toxic hold infiltrate the company and shut it down before it’s game over for everyone.
