This short novel comes with plenty of body horror and a fascinating main character, a professor of probability and statistics who struggles to keep living in a world where freakish events (Low Probability Events) have become common -- and fatal. Very much worth reading.

Chuck Tingle does it again! Sufficiently scary and gross while also ending with a heartwarming resolution. As someone with depression I related a lot to the protagonist's journey and struggles, and I was happy she was able to find some hope in the end. Entertaining read that kept me on the edge of my seat!

WOW that was amazing. The combination of surreal horror and every day horror was insane. I devoured this book. This is probably my favorite release from Chuck Tingle now.

I really enjoyed the mystery and the descriptions of horror that really made everything feel real and truly terrifying, but even so there was hope there even under it all. When nothing matters, everything matters.

This review is admittedly a little bit biased, as I am fully a member of the Tingle cult and will happily read whatever he gives us. This particular novel was an incredibly smart, existentially horrific book. It takes more of a sci-fi turn in the second half, which is different from what Tingle has typically done in his traditionally-published novels, but he does so with the finesse that you’d expect from the World’s Greatest Author. The imagery of the scary moments is what Tingle really excels at, equal parts campy and unimaginably terrifying. I also loved how the story was a queer parable, and great bisexuality rep, as expected for Tingle’s work. Chuck Tingle will never cease to amaze me with his outlandish writing and undeniable talent.

Chuck Tingle books, my beloved! I had such a great time with this book. The pull of emptiness of nothing against the chaos of luck, both good and bad both externally and within the main character were compelling the whole way through, and the scenes of horror were genuinely horrifying. The low probability events were unsettling and strange while being just this side of surreal, which is perfect. These things aren't impossible, just astronomically unlikely, especially when stacked together.

Chuck Tingle has once again used horror as a way to prove love is real, and I can't wait to read whatever he's writing next.

Hooked from the first page, I found myself spiraling into Chuck Tingle’s latest nightmare—a world where the most horrifying monster isn’t a creature, but nothing itself. In Lucky Day, Vera, a former statistics professor, is forced to confront a reality where probability has gone rogue, and Vegas might just be the epicenter of the next catastrophe. Tingle masterfully balances cosmic terror with sharp satire, proving once again that reality is the strangest fiction of all.

With his signature blend of absurdity and genuine terror, Tingle crafts a story that is as unsettling as it is darkly funny. The stakes? Reality itself. The villain? The kind of randomness that turns luck into doom. If you thought Tingle’s surreal horror couldn’t get any weirder—or smarter—think again. Lucky Day is a jackpot of existential dread wrapped in Chuck Tingle’s signature style.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Tor Publishing Group | Tor Nightfire for providing me with an eARC of Lucky Day prior to its publication.

Chuck Tingle the author you are.

While Bury Your Gays takes a while to find its footing, Lucky Day takes off so quickly (and gorily!) that it had be jaw-slack while reading. After then, I was hooked. Not to be personal, but as someone who has been experiencing existential crises for what feels like months now, it scared me more than I think it would've. The concept of accepting true nothingness made me feel so much for Vera because I've been there too. Just maybe not in the way Vera made it to that point.

To begin, the crux of this nothingness and nonexistence being related to the potent distrust and disbelief in bisexuals is so so good. It's a tired argument and hearing Vera defend herself was validating. Even faced with nothingness she still finds a little bite in herself to push back. We aren't at a crossroads. We're right here.

Also, watching Vera hit that emotional rock bottom and slowly find herself clawing herself up... man. I know that really well. The book didn't wax too poetic with this (and that's not particularly Vera's style to begin with). It stayed in those moments just long enough for you to feel it's depth and weight before moving forward, dragging Vera along with the plot whether or not she wanted to go, which I think was better for the pacing of this story.

I also want to put a special highlight on how all of the concepts of tangible fate and luck are explained. It's complex, but not in a manner that is completely devoid of understanding and doesn't keep you for too long. A long, drawn-out discussion of a magic system or strange phenomenon is a sure-fire way to lose a chunk of your audience, something this book deftly avoids. It's easy to fall into this book, become enraptured, and, like Vera, find yourself engrossed in its existentiality and hope without even realizing you needed to hear it. Like Chuck Tingle says, love is real but so is hope.

5/5 stars. I definitely need to read Camp Damascus now.

Chuck Tingle does it again! Everything he writes is solid gold. This is a short read, but such a fascinating one. I loved the main character and their attempts to make sense of a completely unlikely situation. I loved the body horror. I loved it all. We are buying for the collection as we have a growing population of Tingle readers now.

This was absolutely incredible. So much queer rep, what it means to be queer, how it can be daunting to come out, challenges queer people face and more. This was horror done IMPECCABLY. It wasn’t overly gory for the sake of being gory, it was laugh out loud funny at times, and it was so out of this world weird that I literally could not stop turning the pages. When I had to go to sleep or even when I had to put my kindle down to go to the bathroom I was thinking of this book. The main character was everything and I loved being in her twisted little head. This is a top read of the year!

This book is amazing. I could not put it down. The author does a great job of blending horror elements with reality. Readers who love the moments of total reality mixed with the inexplicable will love this book. The voids in time, the portals ... excellent! There is a solid plot with engaging characters. The idea of luck is a fantastic plot line to follow and investigate.

Chuck Tingle, the enigmatic and brilliant mind behind some of the most unexpected genre fiction out there, has done it again.
In Lucky Day, he takes on the concept of actual luck—and what happens when probability stops playing by the rules.

Four years ago, Vera’s life was shattered by the Low-Probability Event, a global catastrophe where over 8 million people died in freak accidents: monkeys on the loose, exploding cars, and countless bizarre tragedies. As a statistics and probability professor, Vera was left not only grieving her mother, but mentally and emotionally paralyzed by the impossibility of what happened.

Now, numb and disengaged, she wants nothing to do with the world—until Special Agent Layne shows up with shocking evidence that suggests the Event wasn't random after all. As Layne begins to unravel something deeply strange and possibly supernatural, Vera feels a flicker of something she hasn’t felt in years: interest. Hope. Maybe even belief.

This is Tingle at his sharpest—genre-bending and full of high-concept weirdness that somehow works. It's a book about grief, about control, and about the terrifying chaos of real randomness. A little dark, a little funny, and absolutely unforgettable. Tingle is our generation's Tom Robbins and if you haven't read him, it's your Lucky Day!

This is my first five star read of the year.

I think this actually changed my brain chemistry. I, probably unfortunately, related to Vera’s way of trying to make sense of the world and her struggle to care even when it hurts. It is so hard to care when everything feels like it’s falling apart, and I feel like this book captured everything I have been feeling since the election perfectly. The commentary on bi erasure and the state of the world was incredible. This is maybe not the book to read if you’re in an existential crisis, because I think if I hadn’t been able to read it in one day, I wouldn’t have been able to sleep from anxiety.

This just hit in the exact right way at the exact right time for me. I cried. There is so much to unpack here, I will probably have to do a reread before it’s released.

I read Bury Your Gays last year and absolutely loved it. It was wild, imaginative, bizarre-- really the list goes on. Of course, Tingle has a reputation, or more accurately I should say a legacy, so it's always going to be exciting when he releases something not in the Tingleverse, doubley so if it's horror. I was extremely pleased to finish this with the same level of awe I did for his previous books. Tingle is so dang creative, frankly a powerhouse of creativity and originality, and honestly I could go on and on about how cool he and his writing is.

Now for the actual writing itself. Lucky Day was fascinating. It has a wild and interesting premise, the setting for most of the novel being the world in the aftermath of what came to be called the Low Probability Event. Mid-air plane collisions, a man beat to death with a typewriter wielding chimp dressed like Shakespeare, salmon flying through windshields in the middle of a densely populated city, all of this happening in one day and resulting in the deaths of about 8 million people, world-wide.

Our main character is Vera, a survivor of this event who has fallen into a deep 4 year depression since then. A statistics and probability professor and newly published author, the day of the LPE she was celebrating with her fiancée, mother, and friends before all hell broke loose. Accompanying her is Agent Layne, another survivor and strange government official, a heavy hitter for an organization that's investigating a casino -- the very one she wrote her book about those four years ago.

Furthermore, because frankly I can't stop, the science fiction and horror aspects are neat as all heck. These pages are blood soaked, and Tingle's descriptions are straight up disturbing for the horror scenes. Most notably are almost immediate, and are even hinted at in the description of the book: the balloon ropes and the chimp with the typewriter. Tingle didn't have to include that the typewriter makes a different sound once it cleaves through a human skull and brain matter and meets the floor, but he did and that was awesome.

This book was fantastic, and for me at least has surpassed Bury Your Gays for my favorite book by Tingle. It's a constant struggle between nihilism and hope, in trying to find meaning in a world where the laws we previously understood to be true and real are upended and turned on their heads. It is a pendulum that swings from depression and hopelessness to carefree and weightless nonchalance. In the face of chaos, do you say "nothing matters :(" or "nothing matters :)"? What do you do when you lose absolutely everything?

Thanks a TON to Tor Nightfire and NetGalley for this free eARC in exchange for my honest review. This one was so cool and I'm very thankful.

Whoa. This was my first Chuck Tingle book, but it won't be my last. I fell so hard into this story - 2 hours went by without me realizing it.

One day in May a terrifying "Low Probability Event" occurs, killing millions of people (mostly American adults) in horrifyingly bizarre and highly unlikely ways. Vera, a professor of Statistics and Probability, survives, but she's not living. Holed up in her mother's house she's barley managing to exist when a Low Probability agent knocks on her door. He doesn't have to abide by any laws or follow any rules, and he's certain Vera is going to be the one person to finally explain the event that continues to elude even the most brilliant of minds.

Full of terror, twists, and fantastically bizarre events, this is the book you can't turn away from!

So much gore and terror, but still hopeful. This is the first book I've read by Chuck Tingle, although I've been a fan of his for years. Amazing story. Love is real.

It’s May 23rd otherwise known as the Low Probability Event.

I first fell in love with Tingle’s writing with Bury Your Gays, as a bisexual the literal invisibility of one of the bisexual characters really spoke to me. Especially as a bisexual female presenting person in a heterosexual presenting relationship. Lucky Day carries this theme further.

The central event of this novel centers around two things, the Low Probability Event and the surrounding trauma Vera grapples with as a result and a supernaturally lucky casino in Las Vegas.

I loved this! I got the approval on NetGalley and immediately opened it up and started. All throughout Tingle’s work is the theme Love is real, love is what saves each character.

This was so good, it absolutely blew me away. Vera’s grief was so visceral and interesting to wade through. Everything clicked together incredibly well, and I’m fascinated by the concept of historical inertia.

Chuck Tingle wows me again! I love his unhinged, crazy, and absurd events in this book! A major disaster occurs called the Low-Probability Event in which nearly 8 million people die in absurd ways. The FMC, Vera Norrie, gets involved in a part of this Low-Probability Event ordeal after publishing a book about a casino. Special Agent Jonah Layne is investigating the casino and needs Vera to help so another event won't happen again. I absolutely loved this wild ride, which was fast paced (IMO) and is just an amazing book of unhinged people and events that I tend to gravitate towards. I feel like Tingle is becoming an auto buy author for me.

Lucky Day by Chuck Tingle is a cosmic horror with comic moments of absurdity so bizarre you have to laugh, despite the tragedy. I found myself relating to main character Vera a lot, her fits of rage and her depression among other emotions. This book is a must-read for horror fans, for Chuck Tingle fans, and for everyone who knows love is real.

Chuck Tingle has done it again! “Lucky Day” isn’t just a tale—it’s a full-body hug from the universe wrapped in sweet absurdity and sincere heart. This isn’t about getting pounded in the butt by luck—this is about discovering that sometimes the weirdest, softest moments can hit the hardest (emotionally speaking). Tingle delivers existential musings with the grace of a sentient spaghetti noodle and the depth of a love-asaurus rex. Five stars, would get lucky again!”

4.5 stars rounded up

This made my stats loving heart so happy. Tingle’s writing gets better every time I read a new book of his. Vera was a very dynamic and relatable character. Bringing light to biphobia? I loved it. I love Vera and Layne‘s work relationship and the juxtaposition of happy-go-lucky (ha! get it?) Layne with black cat Vera. Tingle hit the recipe for weird entertaining and very sharp horror novels. I liked how he conveyed Vera’s loneliness, isolation, and depression because it felt very real and relatable. This was an amazing read.

A fantastic union between a stoic, logical character and absolutely bizarre and unhinged events. I did have a little difficulty resonating with the main character at first, but by the end I felt like I knew her and really appreciated how it all turned out.

Not quite as solid as his previous novel "Bury Your Gays" in my opinion, but a very enjoyable read nonetheless. Chuck has a gift for thinking up the most unhinged scenarios and finding a way to make them work.

We'll most definitely be stocking this at our store and I'm sure it will fly off the shelf.

**TL;DR**: Chuck Tingle gets better and better every time.
**Source**: NetGalley - thank you so much to the publisher!

**Plot**: How it made sense was so clever, and just weird enough to make sense. Well done Mr. Tingle.
**Characters**: Unlikable but also so lovable. I was cheering for these folks the whole way through.
**Setting:** We roam a bit but I loved the desert setting in the later half, it added a lot I feel to the story,
**Horror:** Oh my god. Yes. Just yes.

**Thoughts**:

Absurd Horror seems to be something I really enjoy. Lucky Day leans heavily into the ‘what is happening’ feeling you can get from some horror. You don’t know if you should laugh or look away and somehow you end up doing both (or in my case giggling wildly because that’s my fear reaction). Yet in the end, somehow he makes it make sense.

Vera is a black sheep, she experiences some intense trauma on the day of the Low Probability Event and after that she wallows in depression, suicidal thoughts, and the classic talk of the void and darkness. Agent Layne who drags her out into his investigation is the direct opposite. Golden Retriever, enjoy every moment type, the two make for a fantastic back and forth that grounds well against the absolutely wild events of this book.

Chuck Tingle, like always, also manages to fit some topical themes into this as well such as bi-erasure and how far the hand of government should reach. It’s not heavy handed, and worked so well into the overall story. I loved seeing him at work here.

The over the top nature of a lot of this isn’t going to be for everyone but if you’re strapped in and ready for it it’s fantastic. There are some notes of what feels like some Junji Ito inspiration as well, which delighted me to no end, and I had a blast. I can’t recommend this one enough, but do check your trigger warnings.

Lucky Day by Chuck Tingle is a wildly fun and unexpectedly heartwarming ride that blends humor, romance, and a touch of the absurd. Tingle's unique writing style shines through with its playful, offbeat charm, making for a quick read that's both entertaining and uplifting. The story’s quirky characters and their heartfelt journey will leave you smiling and maybe even laughing out loud. It’s a delightful, feel-good book that proves Tingle’s ability to turn the most outrageous premise into something surprisingly sweet.

9/10

Chuck Tingle has done things a bit differently this time, leaning less into the horror elements of his writing (although there are some truly visceral descriptions that are horrifying throughout), instead leaning into an X-Files style of schlocky sci-fi, and let me tell you it pays off.

I wasn't 100% sold from the synopsis of this book but decided to give it a chance anyway because I really enjoyed both of Mr. Tingle's previous works. I am glad I took that leap as this is probably my favorite novel from him thus far. It is still a queer novel but that is less central to the overall plot here than in Camp Damascus or Bury Your Gays. Instead the plot of this book focuses on a casino who's business model seems financially impossible to turn a profit with, and yet they do. Our protagonist Vera wants to take them down, and it may be all she has left to live for.

Vera was a statistician, and made sense of the world through the lens of probability, bringing order to the chaos of her life. That is, until things got truly chaotic during the Low Probability Event (LPE). During the LPE seemingly impossible things happened all around the globe and all at once, causing the death of millions. Not just unlikely things, but things that seemed to be impossible, things such as, it raining fish, a chimpanzee in a Shakespeare outfit going on a murderous rampage with a typewriter in downtown Chicago, every single airplane of a specific model crashing into each other, oh and pigs flying, just to name a few. All of these, and many many more seemingly impossible events do take place throughout the book, and they take place in all the gory detail you would come to expect from Chuck Tingle... hell sometimes the level of grotesque, macabre, and horrifying detail that I have come to expect from Nick Cutter, and I mean that in the best of ways.

Throughout the book Vera questions the meaning of life, and well everything. More specifically she questions if it has any meaning at all. As cosmic forces seem to pull the answer to this question ever increasingly towards "no" Vera must decide if her life is worth living if she believes that it has no meaning. It is through this self reflective lens that we watch a story unfold that is part horror, part cheesy sci-fi, part absurdist comedy, but also part existentialist philosophy experiment. Despite how jumbled this may sound Chuck Tingle balances it all perfectly to create a book that is both entertaining as well as though provoking, while making you feel eerily uncomfortable throughout as in this book you REALLY never know what might come next.

How can you not love Chuck Tingle? This is the third book of his that I've read, and he blows me away each time.

Vera is a bisexual who is in a loving relationship with another woman and who is about to publish a book about probability. That same day, everything that has a one in a million chance of happening--happens. Hundreds of thousands are left dead from freak accidents, and the rest are left to pick up the pieces. Vera hides away, allowing depression to waft over her for years until Agent Layne enlists her as a consultant to figure out just how and why this day--this Low Probability Event--happened.

Vera goes through a tumultuous internal arc as she learns that maybe, perhaps, it's okay to care again, and it's okay to understand that maybe there is no meaning to life. But why should that stop her? Through laugh out loud characters, some of whom are certainly morally dubious, we take a trip of a lifetime as we discover just who and what is behind everyone's good or bad luck (and naturally, it's a very Tingle reveal).

But be warned: some of the bad luck scenes definitely posit this book squarely in the horror genre. There's blood, fish, and guns. There's also a lot of hope.

This is everything that a book should be: fun, heartfelt, earnest, and a little fucked up.

Readers will be glad they took a chance on this book -- I know I am.

LUCKY DAY captures the kind of hope that gathers like dust in corners: it builds over time, without you noticing, and even when it's dark.

A tight story with excellent pacing; I finished in two days. I felt no lulls, even when our protagonist herself, Vera, is doing no more than staring at the ceiling. Her response to a world-changing, life-altering, reality-shattering series of events is relatable for a humanity that is barreling through the hot heels of the unprecedented.

Even as a person sensitive to descriptions of bodily harm, reading this novel was not difficult for me. The breakneck speed and absurdity helped me stomach the grim depictions of bizarre deaths. Still, it's not excessively gory; Vera's matter-of-fact perspective as a statistician comes through here. If you need to glaze over the blood, what you need to remember amid the chaos drives itself into you by the end.

This novel offers an optimistic penny after gruesome tragedy and loss: all the bad luck in the world can't totally eradicate the desire to survive. We have a future to look forward to -- mine includes more novels by this author.

CW: Gore, Existentialism, Biphobia/Bi-Erasure, Depression, Suicidal ideation

Tingle’s streak of great queer horror continues in Lucky Day. For me, the Looney-Tune-but-make-it-gory streaks of bad luck were nightmarish, in the sense of being nonsensical and gross—but they didn’t stick out to me nearly as much as the existential horror. Vera’s mindset as a disaster survivor, her struggle to overcome her (understandable) depression and stagnation, as a person whose existence others deny, as someone who wants to believe in SOMETHING amidst the odds… it all drew me in and made me want to stick with her, see her overcome. I may identify a little too much with Vera, but I think a lot of others will, too, and I NEEDED that as someone who finds the statistical background of the book theoretically interesting but psychologically exhausting.

I also love how Tingle balanced characters in this book to raise issues of identity, erasure, and motivation. Vera’s mom saying that bisexuals don’t exist? Expected. Cheerful, ice-cream-and-pie loving Layne, Vera’s government agent partner (and gay man) saying bisexuals don’t exist? Took my breath away, a painful stab from someone who should know better. Nothing in this book is simple or dichotomous – a lot of gray, a lot of self-defining, a lot of contextual questioning, but always with (at least for me) an appropriate amount of hope.

Some may not like the existential, philosophical bent of this novel, but for me, those are some of the truest horrors there are, and ones we all have to face. I highly recommend this book for those who enjoyed Tingle’s other works, fans of absurd, horrible imagery, and those who like their horror with a side of optimism.

Chuck Tingle has a way of writing that will give you whiplash from beginning to end. Lucky Day starts with a massacre and ends with a buzz and all along the way you’re not quite sure what you signed yourself up for when you started reading the book.
Vera’s doing her best trying to get through the trauma of the Low Probability Event and the rest of the world is trying to survive on luck, which we soon come to find out isn’t going to end well.

This was a hell of a book, start to finish, with some scenes (especially from the LPE) that will haunt me going forward. Great work

Chuck Tingle can do no wrong, and I don't think I'll ever change my mind on that.

He handles the tough topics of a politically fraught climate, especially as a member of the B in LGBTQ+, and balances it against some of the most hilarious and outlandish tropes known to man.

The ability to have the reader laughing, crying, horrified, and hopeful all in one story is a gift that Tingle is the master of and I can't wait to see what comes next.

Perfect for fans of campy horror, body horror, and puns.

Nobody is writing fiction like Chuck Tingle. He is one of my favorite authors to talk about. A true legend and certified artist of his craft. He must be protected to ensure the weird fiction (and the tinglers) keep on coming. Thank you for the ARC I am so... Lucky.

This book grabs you by the throat and doesn't let go, spinning an uncanny blend of body horror, existential dread, and a haunting exploration of grief and chance. It starts with the Low-Probability Event (LPE), a day when 8 million people die in statistically impossible and brutal ways. The randomness is terrifying and sets the tone for a story as chaotic as it is calculated. Yes, it's a math joke. Vera, a former statistics professor, is raw and broken, shredding her logic and emotions to a pulp. When Special Agent Layne needs her help to chase a suspiciously "lucky" casino whose success might be the cause of the LPE, Vera jumps at the chance. Is that hope bubbling at the surface? Together, they navigate a world where connection is the only thing tethering humanity to sanity.

The narrative is sharp, smart, and deeply mournful, especially when it dissects how we make sense of tragedy and the random cruelty of life.
I absolutely loved this book. It's Tingle at his best. This buckaroo approves!

It's part horror, part philosophical sci-fi, and wholly unique. It challenges what you think about grief and existence while creeping you out with disturbingly memorable imagery. It's a chilling reminder that the universe doesn't always play fair or by any rules.

Thank you, NetGalley and Tor Publishing Group/ Tor Nightfire, for the opportunity to review the ebook.

Chuck Tingle's horror is like nothing else I've ever read. It has the beautiful beating heart of a deep understanding of humanity with the gore and creeping dread of the very best horror rolled into one. Chuck's books make me so happy and emotional and proud of my queerness. They show that we get to have just as big of a seat at the table of every genre while also not having our queerness be why life is hard and horrible. Chuck Tingle is the rarest kind of author - able to show the horrors of the world and what could be while reminding us that the world is beautiful and love is real and that hope is never dead. I can't speak highly enough of his books and Lucky Day is no exception. I absolutely loved the gore and unpredictability of this book. The chaos was so beautifully horrible and well written. Tingle always writes memorable characters that I love or hate in spades. All of the main cast of characters were flawed and fascinating and equally horrible and wonderful in turn. I absolutely loved Vera's journey back to the world and to herself amongst the chaos. The approach to the biphobia she faced and the possible route back to a connection with her lost love had me on the edge of my seat. This is such a wonderful book and Tingle really outdid himself here. He's a forever auto-buy author for me.

Thanks to NetGalley and Tor for giving me an advanced copy of this book!

I love Chuck Tingle, and I'll gladly try anything he writes. This book leaned into horror a little more heavily than I tend to like (as a pretty timid horror reader), but Tingle's larger themes about chance, fate, and resilience kept me reading. The protagonist Vera is a bisexual statistics professor, and after a series of highly unlikely events happen to her, she's asked to help make sense of them. The plot itself is so over the top (and so essential to the reading experience, in my opinion) that I won't say more for fear of spoilers, but it's quite a ride! I also appreciated reading a book that highlights a traditionally underrepresented part of the queer community. I'm ready and eager to follow Tingle wherever he goes next!

Didn't see this one coming! A super unique exploration of fate, luck, and whether existence has a meaning we can understand. The gore and viscera didn't keep me from feeling inspired and hopeful by the end of this novel. Surprising, creative, shocking, and funny - I'll be buying extra copies of this one to give away!

Love is Real! This is my first Chuck Tingle read, but I follow him on Instagram and love everything he says. This was a great science fiction horror book, that was overwhelmingly queer and filled with joy somehow? This book made the existential dread go away, at least while I was reading it? I thought it was such a cool premise, and once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down. I thought Tingle did a great job of explaining the erasure of bisexuality, and especially in a way that felt authentic and not corny. I'm so happy Chuck Tingle is getting his roses, and for all his kinds of art. I highly recommend this book!

Thank you NetGalley and Tor Publishing for the E-ARC.

When I saw this one, I was so friggin excited to read it. I never thought I'd get approved for the ARC but it was the best day when I got the email.

This was insane. In typical Chuck Tingle fashion, it was completely unhinged with an amazing plot, great storytelling, and a sincere message.

I personally love statistics and philosophy, both of which were prevalent here. I enjoyed how many times the reader was reminded that even in our greatest personal tragedy, the world will move on. Pain, anger, outrage is fleeting and we're conditioned to forgot. Consequences mean nothing when people's short term memory is quickly erased by the next viral moment.

I loved the debate on probability vs. luck, and how that came full circle in the end with how a specific tragedy occurred. Overall, fun time.

I ate this book up in one day. Absurdist, sweet, horrific, charming- all of the above! I liked how it combined horror, who done it, and humor. Will definitely be recommending this one.

Lucky Day is about everything you’d think could never happen, happening. Vera’s job is to calculate the probability of things like winning a million dollars, or fish raining from the sky. After a wildly improbable event happens and she survives, she’s asked to help figure out why. And maybe she can stop any other similar events from happening again.

Chuck Tingle’s newest work makes you think about the impact of even the smallest choices you can make. It also shines some light on the feeling of hopelessness and loneliness felt by folks who identify in a way some don’t understand. It is always surprising to me how equally silly and meaningful Tingle’s books continue to be.

This was delightful, so good I want there to be more of it! It really shows how quickly people return to the status quo after tragic events.
