Buckle up, folks, Lucky Day is a wild ride.
Chuck Tingle is one of my favorite voices in Horror. His stories are wildly unique, this one taking the cake for the most delightfully unhinged Chapter Two I’ve ever read in a book. 
Vera is a bisexual statistics professor who thrives on order and patterns. So, when May 23rd happens, a day that bucks all order and patterns and results in unimaginable carnage and chaos, Vera’s life is flipped completely upside down. Four years later, she questions her own existence and sinks deeper and deeper into the abyss of depression. Then a mysterious government agent with golden retriever energy bursts into her home and drags her along on a thrilling investigative journey involving a strange casino, a string of the most unlikely events, and the delicate balance of luck. What happens in Vegas, right?
This book was impossible to put down. A raucous, chaotic, masterpiece of a novel filled with horrors you simply cannot unread. I loved it to bits, and I am so grateful for the butterfly who flapped its wings to get us to the reality in which Chuck Tingle wrote Lucky Day.
