About this listen
Lucian North is supposed to be dead.
Suffering from a rare heart condition that doctors say should have killed him over a year ago, Lucian is playing a video game when Death finally comes.
Rather than give in, Lucian pulls a gun on the Grim Reaper.
As the two stare each other down, terrible demons known as injuresouls swarm into the room in pursuit of Death.
Summoning courage he never knew he had, Lucian comes to Death's aid. And for his troubles, he is awarded Death's Mantle.
Transported to a spiritual world he could have never fathomed, Lucian finds that he is instantly powerful, able to conjure weapons from scratch and perform incredible feats. He introduces game mechanics to his new role, develops a carefully curated inventory list, and modifies a HUD system that allows him to better track his targets.
It isn’t easy being Death, and Lucian will need just about everything he can get as he faces off against fallen angels, appalling parasites, demon-born injuresouls, and savage Death Hunters.
Regardless of his sudden strength, his newfound enemies, and his gamer ingenuity, Lucian can't communicate with the living, which wouldn't be a problem if he hadn’t discovered something terrible about his family....
Lucian’s brother is scheduled to die, and only Lucian has the power to do anything about it.
Death’s Mantle is a dark fantasy GameLit novel that LitRPG, metaphysical fantasy, occult sci-fi, and thriller listeners will love. Death’s Mantle is written by Harmon Cooper, best-selling GameLit author of Way of the Immortals, House of Dolls, Cherry Blossom Girls, The Feedback Loop, and Monster Hunt NYC. It was inspired by the anime Parasyte, the comic book series Sandman and Spawn, the books On a Pale Horse and the Tibetan Book of the Dead.

Death's Mantle
Harman Cooper is one of the most talented and skilled author's I enjoy his work greatly. And with the voice acting talents and skills of Andrea Parsneau who makes the characters and world come alive. With her narration this book is brilliant and a must to listen to and owned. 12/10 stars...

Brilliant, Exciting and Enthralling
It is great to listen to a book that take a look at things from the other site of the tracks and that they have to do dark things to do good instead of always being an upidy hero. Great job.

Cardboard characters
I liked the narrator's performance, The story, however, was pretty boring and quite cliche. The characters, especially the angel enemies, were just cardboard cutouts. The crafting was pretty much only limited by imagination and there's no sense of limits of how powerful a crafted item is except for how it resembles an actual item. Also, everyone seems to be stuck in a technological backwater except for the protagonist because he died in the present, and his exposure to present technology and using it in his fights are his main advantage over others. Very disappointing.

needless filler between OK fight scenes
very hard to even get halfway through this book after many of the conversations between characters taking 3 times longer than necessary to say "I don't know."
it is one of those books where much of the major conflict could have easily been avoided if the main character just explained himself when questioned instead of being obtuse by answering and then getting angry that others don't understand him. for example: the fact the main character didn't answer the question: "why are you attacking people and causing them to die?" with "I'm not, I'm killing the demons that are attached to them making their conditions worse so that they can get better and I get to absorb the demons power as a bonus." but instead said "I need to get more powerful" makes the following conflicts very hard to enjoy.
narrator was fine though, despite the cheap narrative devices.
