Lucky Day
by Chuck Tingle
fast-paced
Happy publishing day, I'm still counting this as an ARC even though I only got approved for this yesterday.
Chuck Tingle does it again with this horror novel and it's hard to write a review without spoilers but if you're looking for slightly camp, body gore, luck gone wrong in the worst way, Chuck Palahniuk-esque but with clearer writing, then you should pick up basically anything by Chuck Tingle.
Lucky Day kicks off with THE "low probability event" having happened- the day when nearly 8 million people died in the most bizarre and unusual ways, some final destination ways, some just weird. All very weird. Vera is a statistics professor at the height of her career when the event happened and she loses everything. Subsequently, there is an investigation into the casino in her book and that brings us Special Agent Jonah Layne, who is trying to get in front of another possible event. While you're reading this, prepare to have to pause and go back to make sure that's actually what you read because yes, yes you did. It's that good.
Mara Wilson being the narrator was great- she is up there for me in fav narrators and keeps a great pace throughout the whole book.
