Half Past Dead is an unpublished (thought started, but barely) novel by troper DoomCookies. UrbanFantasy, slighly [[CrapsackWorld dystopic]], and very action centric, and overall very complex to try to explain. Has undergone many strong revisions.
Spoiler: The main character dies in the first chapter.
Luce, our main character, has died eleven times in sixteen years. He was taken in by Death when he died in a "car accident" when he was four years old with the intention of taking over for Death when the cycle ends in, oh, a couple thousand years. And yet, the fabric of existence is tearing slowly, rebellions breaking out everywhere, and everything known about the world is becoming untrue.
Currently, the plot is on its sixth revision, with a darker tone, more GenreSavvy characters, LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters, and a ''Series/DoctorWho'' inspired storyline.

* AbusiveParents: Cain. Both of them, though his mother falls more under ParentalAbandonment, as he met her twice in his life. His dad's a straight example though, and it's implied that had he not been taken back from Day, he would never have ended up as far off the SanitySlope as he did.
* AllDeathsFinal: It's impossible to pull someone of Death's Realm intact. It has been done before, but they always ComeBackWrong and, if they aren't little more than zombies, end up killing themselves.
* AsLongAsItSoundsForeign: Though most of the words relating to the Litum are Sumerian, there are two exceptions: mudes and Amshar. The term "mude" came around before the author established the Sumerian phrases, and Amshar was a typo of Anshar, which is Sumerian.
* DeadpanSnarker: Many of the characters have at least a few moment of snarkiness, but Fem, Drea, Cain, Luce, and Aisling seem to have the most moments.
* GratuitousForeignLanguage: Everything relating to the Litum is in Sumerian.
* GenreSavvy: Everyone. Cain even [[LampshadeHanging Lampshades]] the EvilOverlordList at one point, and [[DangerouslyGenreSavvy Luce and Aisling]] appear to spend the entire novel to see who can break the fourth wall first.
* HeartwarmingOrphan: Lampshaded.
-->'''Aisling''': So I guess you're some sort of heartwarming orphan, aren't you? Poor thing. Parents dead. How sad. I think I may cry now.
-->'''Luce''': You're forgetting the fact that I died, too.
* ImColdSoCold: Death, the place, isn't cold, though Death, the person, is always surrounded by an unearthly chill. Luce also has an unnaturally low body temperature all of the time.
** Although this does appear when Luce dies in the first chapter, though it's justified because he's bleeding to death on a [[SnowMeansDeath snowbank.]]
* StraightGay: Adrian.
* WhoWantsToLiveForever: Luce has moments of this, though he's technically not immortal- he can just pass through Death's Realm, stay in Amshar, and be in the mortal world. However, it's impossible for him to actually stay in Death's Realm, but he can stay in Amshar as long as it lasts.
* YouWakeUpInARoom: Luce describes dying as being like this: sometimes it happens so fast you have no idea what happens to you, you pass through the nothingness stage before your mind can catch up, and then you're laying on the floor of an ancient looking room.

Cain's father is reckless and violent, and had no qualms giving his son's body over to dangerous experiment to test the limits of death.
