The Try Not to Die book series is a collection of stand-alone novellas that Mark Tullius creates with coauthors. In each book, readers make tough decisions that either let them continue the story or send them to their death. There is only one correct path in each path, but over two dozen ways to die.
There are over 20 books being developed for the series and Mark is currently creating a board game with the first pack titled Try Not to Die: Back at Grandma’s House.
“…aims at an audience of older readers nostalgic for the interactive storylines of their youth, and it has enough action and decision-making to fit that bill admirably.” - IndieReader
