A review by kaelahoran
Lucky Day by Chuck Tingle

3.0

Do I need another book to verify to me that I love body horror?  No, we knew but I LOVE BODY HORROR

I did overall enjoy my time listening to Lucky Day, the narrator was very good and definitely suited the character but I unfortunately didn't love the execution as much as I loved the idea for this book.  Something that I LOVE about Camp Damascus and Bury Your Gays is the feeling dread throughout the book.  It is usually so potent, but I didn't feel that at all when reading this book.  Maybe it was because Vera, the main character, was so analytical and wanting to suppress her past so much that I didn't feel attached to her at all, but I did not really connect to any of the characters or the pacing of this book.  What I really enjoyed was the queer commentary that this author puts in his horror books.  The connection of biphobia to the nothingness and cause of the Low Probability Event was so well done and this type of commentary is why I will forever be anticipating this author's future releases.

Thank you so much to Netgalley for allowing me to have the audiobook arc!
