It's generally regarded as as cult Black Comedy classic.Luke Rhinehart, respected psychiatrist and family man, is in a slump. Bored to insanity by his humdrum life, he conducts a psychological experiment to destroy the self, by letting the role of a die determine his next actions. From here, after surrendering his will, he takes all the risks he's denied himself. The path of the dice however, leads him to become a cult leader, adulterer, underground activist, millionaire, asylum inmate, murderer and fugitive.Not to be confused with the British travel documentary inspired by the work which shares its name, the Dice Man Comic Book / Game Book hybrid or with comedian Andrew "Dice" Clay.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Author Avatar: Significantly downplayed, but George Cockcroft himself experimented with making decisions via dice, however never to the extent of Luke. | |

The Dice Man / int_8d6d9535 | comment |
Artistic License – Medicine: When a patient tells Luke he likes to sodomize and kill young girls, Luke is depressed that he can't tell anyone due to patient confidentiality. In reality, a practitioner should break confidentiality as soon as s/he thinks the patient will be a danger to themselves or others. | |

Asshole Victim: The Dice eventually command Luke to commit murder near the end of the book, however the target is the thoroughly loathsome Frank Osterflood (mentioned above): a paedophile, Serial Killer and Straw Misogynist to boot. | |
