This is an alternate cover edition for ISBN 0590553844 / 9780590553841.
The game got out of control...
No one was really supposed to get hurt. The Dead Game was something that Linnie, Ming and Jackson made up in their senior year to get back at all those people who really deserved it...the liars, the cheats and the bullies. To play the game, all they have to do is embarrass their chosen enemy in public.
But things start to go horribly wrong...
Their first "hit" ends up in hospital - and then someone dies. But when the three friends decide to stop playing, the dead game just won't stop.
Suddenly the rules have changed. How can they end the deadly game they have started?

I don’t think I’ve read this Point Horror before, as I had no recollection of the plot.
It’s got an interesting premise which sees Linnie, Ming and Jackson devises a game in which they intended to humiliate those that they felt deserve it, which of course soon goes horribly wrong.
It’s such a great hook. But I struggled to really connect with all the characters and their motivations, kudos for the story with have a great reveal at the end.
I’ve only recently revisited Mother’s Helper by Bates and I enjoyed this one a lot more.
I’m starting to think that this might be a pseudonym author in the series though (same as D. E. Athkins).

A group of friends are seeking revenge from the people that have done them wrong. They decide to play the Dead game.
What seems like an innocent pranking game will soon turn into something really dangerous and even deadly. Will they be able to stop the game before it is too late?
This was another fun and quick read from Point Horror. However this was not one of my favorites I have read so far.

I read this with my book club that I run on Instagram where we revisit Point Horror and other books from our childhood - @talespointhorrorbookclub
Tagline - Someone is playing for keeps!
Memorable For - A “Hit” list and a decent PH boy! Yay!
Some Thoughts
“This is high school. People don’t murder each other in high school”
A group of kids, Linnie, Ming and Jackson who appear to all want to be top dog at everything decide to “have a bit of fun” and play a game to teach all the people who are doing better than them a lesson and it’s called….The Dead Game!
It’s simple – all you have to do is embarrass your chosen public enemy number one! The liars, the cheats, the bullies! Sound fun?
It starts as one simple target…an idea to pinch a letter jacket and leave it on a grave stone and go all Blair Witch a few years before it’s time…..but when that doesn’t really work out a list of targets is set and the rules are put in place. But then things start to go horribly wrong!
Their first “hit” is a disaster and someone ends up in hospital. Their second is shown up to be a womaniser and the third…..death by steep stairs and sprinklers!
But when the group decide to stop playing someone carries on playing The Dead Game and targeting all their hits! Who could it be?!
Dum Dum DUUUUUUMMMMMM!
Other highlights include multiple POV’s, algebraic equations methods to work out the killer, lots of food talk, ☠️, a Kill Bill style ending and a wave 👋 😜
I actually really liked this one! I liked the whole game idea….very John Tucker Must Die-ish with a hint of mystery thrown in…who is making the hits worse than planned? Who carried on the game?

Three friends decide to play the Dead Game which involves pulling a prank on someone who deserves to be brought down a peg or two. But things quickly get out of hand and people start getting hurt.
The three friends, and their friendship, were well-written and believeable. I found the story to be very compelling with some chapters being very short as we flit from character to character and their individual plotting and executing of Dead Game pursuits. I really enjoyed where the story went and there is an element not included in the synopsis (that I won't spoil here!) that I thought was really unique and interesting.
This story felt like perfect fodder for a film adaptation and I'm surprised the concept at least wasn't used in the days of Urban Legend and Final Destination.

One of the worst Point Horror books I've read, sadly, and surprisingly, considering A. Bates' Mother's Helper is one of my favorites.
This one just felt really half-assed with completely underdeveloped characters, a plot that revolves around petty pranks and no form of effective tension or mystery whatsoever.
Even Party Line, another of Bates' entries for the series, was better than this, and I believe I only gave that one a 2.5⭐

Decent mystery with a good premise. However, after a certain character death, the story grinds to a complete halt and doesn't recover until the climax, which is confusingly written! How disappointing, because the first half was tense and intriguing.

Right off the bat, I already had a problem with some of the ideas our trio had, like how they define cheating. For me, that necessitates a willful disregard for or violation of the rules. For example, copying from another student's test answers is cheating, and so is having someone else make your project for you. However, bending the system to your favor, while arguably unfair, doesn't necessarily make one a cheat to me. It's not the A&A twins's fault that they had Advanced Placement and Honors classes in their previous school. If anything, it should be Hollander High's policies that should be blamed.
Also, the ethical implications of the entire thing is rather disturbing. If they wanted to punish liars and cheaters due to indignation and a sense of justice, then it's just their methods that would be questionable. But to "punish" people primarily to benefit yourself or for personal revenge - they'd scarcely have a moral leg to stand on.
It's a good thing that our players don't openly brag (even to each other) that what they're doing was right. Maybe deep inside, they did believe that two wrongs don't make a right. In any case, they're in for a huge surprise, as their game takes a serious, deadlier turn.
The first games resulted in someone being admitted in intensive care, in a reputation being ripped to tatters, and in death. Right then and there, it seemed as if there's a mysterious agency at work, a fourth player who makes sure that their plots come to unexpectedly cruel conclusions. They wanted to stop, but the game has taken a life of its own, and they're powerless to stop it until everyone in their hit list gets their comeuppance. It's up to our trio to figure out who's playing for keeps.
I think the book is a good lesson for people who think that justice and revenge amount to the same thing. What seems worthy of punishment for someone hardly merits a reprimand for another. Is a star player leaving his team because he no longer enjoys his sport really a selfish douche? I commend our leads for owning up to this. For all their immaturity, they occasionally betray deep insights.
I'm rating it 6.5/10 or 3 stars out of 5.

this took too long to get anywhere and just ended so abruptly. too many could have/should have moments for me

The Dead Game follows Jackson, Linnie, and Ming, as they create a game that is intended to humiliate the people that they hate, but it soon takes a turn for the worst and people get hurt, but they are not playing. Together they have to figure out who else is playing, and how to stop them before it's too late.
I am revisiting this after I read it when I was younger and I was still shocked by the ending. The only reason that this doesn't have 5 stars is that I really struggled to understand the trio's motivations behind the game. Otherwise, this is a quick and enjoyable read.

My expectations for The Dead Game weren't particularly high, having only previously read
Mother's Helper
by A. Bates, and Deathflash, their entry in
13 Tales of Horror
- neither of which did much for me. However, I actually found The Dead Game to be really good and refreshing.
The story follows three characters - Linnie, Ming, and Jackson - with chapters jumping around between their perspectives. Bates does a fairly good job of giving each character enough distinction that it's easy enough to tell them apart when reading from their point of view. The trio decide to play a game whereby they must publicly humiliate various classmates in an effort to right some supposed wrongs. Of course, the classmates are blissfully unaware, and of course, with this being a Point Horror the game quickly gets out of hand.
The chapters in this book are incredibly short, but this does allow for Bates to hop between the characters quicker. I enjoyed the friendship between the main trio, the budding romances, and the mystery element here. The Dead Game also has one audacious ending which I very much enjoyed. This was a real breath of fresh air and certainly one of the better Point Horror books I've read.

This book was an interesting read, although it did take me ages to finish reading it - largely because I have been busy this month with NaNoWriMo, and I also read another book in the middle of reading this one. Anyway ... I finally got done. I guess you could say that the fact it took me so long to get it read indicates it wasn't one of my favourites. That's certainly the case, and yet it's probably one of the better plots out there.
Still, the big plot twist in the end did seem a little weird to me - it was almost like the person who was the 'bad guy' didn't know they were until the reader found out. :P Or at least, there was no sign that they had known, when reflecting on all the scenes that had been from their POV.
Odd!
This book was published in 1992, which meant it still had potential to provide lots of great / terrible 90s fashion. But it didn't - there wasn't really much to amuse, at least not for me. And the fact that Linnie has a 5-CD player in her car isn't that impressive, since one of my besties still has that in her car today in 2019, and thinks it's the bees' knees. :P
The writing itself was fairly dodgy, with a whole lot of internal dialogue that was hard to tell apart from the narration. I'm a fan of using italics for internal dialogue, but not everybody is. And anyway, my stories rarely have entire chunky paragraphs that are entirely internal dialogue. Not that there's anything WRONG with that. Well okay, there might be ...
I continue to enjoy my foray (back) into the world fo Point thrillers and horrors, though along the way I have various delights and disappointments. I never know what I'm going to get next, when starting my latest Point (re-/)read!
And on that note, here are my notes kept during this read:

My latest Point Horror read was a first-time read for me, and I must admit I quite enjoyed it.
The story is based on 3 friends, Jackson, Ming and Linnie, who decide to get revenge on their fellow students they believe have wronged them by playing The Dead Game, in which they choose one of the targets and try to humiliate them in a very public way. Of course, this being a Point Horror book, things do not go as planned, and terrible accidents begin to happen to the targets, one of which results in death. The friends then decide to stop playing the game immediately. However, someone else decides to continue playing.
This book is fast-paced with plenty of action, and the main characters are well fleshed out. The final unmasking was a definite surprise as I was expecting someone else.
The only confusing part was the story about Linnies sister, I'm not quite sure what that whole back story added to the overall plot.
Also, the character names really amused me, as they were a throwback to my children's early years watching a weird programme called Wonder Pets!
"Linnie,Tuck and Ming Ming too, we're Wonder Pets and we'll help you. What's going to work? Team Work!" I've had this ear worm ever since I started the book 😩

Ming is fed up with twins Austin and Adley moving from out of town and pipping her to the post on the honors roll at school. Her best friend Linnie's solution? Find a way to publicly humiliate the twins as revenge. Along with Jackson they decide to play 'the dead game' , choosing 'hits' from school that deserve a dose of this medicine. After someone actually winds up dead when Jackson goes through with his 'hit' things all get a bit out of hand. My question is though, what did Linnie's friends expect when she persuaded them to play a game that is literally called 'the dead game'???! And also, why did nothing more serious happen to John the serial womaniser?! Lots of glaring plot holes in my mind, but this one coasts along fine with the three different povs of Ming, Linnie and Jackson in readable short chapters. Rather a lot of introspection but some nice character development particularly for Jackson. Not a bad one to give a go.

The mystery in this novel deepens throughout the course of the book, and I thought it was very compelling. There were subtle clues throughout which became heavier towards the end until the big reveal made everything clear.
The decision to focus almost exclusively on the three protagonists had benefits and flaws. On the one hand, there was plenty of time to explore the relationship between the three friends and the differences between their characters, but the other characters felt hollow as a result, and more detailed characterisation of some of the minor characters (Linnie's family being a prime example) would have helped build a more three-dimensional world and supply a bit more motivation to the central premise.
With that said, what starts off fairly slowly as a standard high school hijinks novel had me turning pages frantically by the end. It's a worthy addition to the series.

Snippet: I really liked this one, but I think it was more for the characters than the plot. Our three protagonists were fleshed out pretty well but they were kind of stupid, thinking everything was a coincidence and then deciding to meet at a gas station before going to the police? What the hell was the point?
And what the hell was with the little side plot about Linnie's sister that went absolutely nowhere?? It got brought up so many times I thought it would have a big payoff at the end, but clearly not.

Linnie, Jackson and Ming are best friends but all feel like they’ve been cheated out of what they deserve at school. When Linnie suggests a game her older sister played at college called the Dead Game they decide to humiliate the people on their cheat list to teach them a lesson. But when the game turns deadly who can they trust.
This was a strange one, it was easy to read and I wanted to know what would happen next but it was pretty obvious who the culprit was. More violent than most PH’s even downright sadistic in parts which my horror heart enjoyed and the parents are awful, even more than usual. But I’m not sure it works as a novella, it needed to be a longer story in my opinion.

I thought "The Dead Game" was a really good book. It showed how teenagers think and how extreme they are willing to go. This book showed how teens Linnie, Ming and Jackson try to overcome all the cheats, liars, and spoiled acquaintances in their high school. Linnie was tired of the cheats getting all of the praise and cheating through it while she and her friends actually worked hard and didn't get and praise. She made a game to expose all of them and it turns out that the game went far worse than what was expected. The game was killing innocent people, and getting a mind of its own.

This was okay, but I didn't really believe it when the bad guy was revealed.

So I didn’t quite figure out exactly who the villain was but I narrowed it down. It was a little predictable but it was a good read. I read most of it in one as it was easy to read, short chapters and kept me engaged. The only downside is that the characters are a little forgettable so i’m not sure I will remember much about this book in 6 months

I rate these books against other point horror books only, and read them as part of a book club on Instagram @talespointhorrorbookclub check it out 💗
This book was a fun one, good male character, rare for PH! crazy scenes.... but that's the thing with PH the weirder and crazier the better 🤪 The pranks remind me of Bishop from New Girl either underrated or ridiculously over the top!

Terrible being with no moral compass do terrible things to other terrible people, and end up having the terrible table of terribleness turned upon themselves. This one clipped along at a nice fast pace, utterly stupid but not boring so added star for that.

Oh my god! What a book! Amazingly written with twist and turns everywhere! Plot twists throughout and I definitely recommend to Point Horror fans. One of my favourite books from the Point Horror Collection so far.

Good story a bit different to the norm. Nice characters but I did feel the ending was a bit rushed.
July 28, 2019
Fairly good for this type of book. It does seem to end suddenly but the publishers of this type want to keep the books under 200 pages.
