About this listen

“An existential masterwork that, like life, is equal parts atrocity and delights."—Olivie Blake, New York Times bestselling author of Masters of Death

Lucky Day is the latest from Chuck Tingle, USA Today bestselling author of Camp Damascus and Bury Your Gays, where one woman must go up against horrifying odds to save the world.

Four years ago, an unthinkable disaster occurred. In what was later known as the Low-Probability Event, eight million people were killed in a single day, each of them dying in improbable, bizarre ways: strangled by balloon ropes, torn apart by exploding manhole covers, attacked by a chimpanzee wielding a typewriter. A day of freak accidents that proved anything is possible, no matter the odds. Luck is real now, and it's not always good.

Vera, a former statistics and probability professor, lost everything that day, and she still struggles to make sense of the unbelievable catastrophe. To her, the LPE proved that the God of Order is dead and nothing matters anymore.

When Special Agent Layne shows up on Vera’s doorstep, she learns he's investigating a suspiciously—and statistically impossibly—lucky casino. He needs her help to prove the casino’s success is connected to the deaths of millions, and it's Vera's last chance to make sense of a world that doesn’t.

Because what's happening in Vegas isn't staying there, and she's the only thing that stands between the world and another deadly improbability.

"Wilson narrates with emotional depth, conveying all of Rose's intelligence, inquisitiveness, and fear as she's hunted by otherworldly beings."AudioFile on Camp Damascus

What the critics say

“Tingle’s latest is an absurd romp, but underneath the off-the-wall mayhem lies his most sophisticated work to date.”—Booklist, STARRED REVIEW

“Sparkles and shines as bright as the Las Vegas strip! Lucky Day fearlessly explores existence, absurdity, and love as only Chuck Tingle can do it. It will shock, thrill, and unlock new fears never even dreamt of. This is Tingle at his strangest and bloodiest.”—CJ Leede, USA Today bestselling author of American Rapture

“A transcendent bisexual fantasia. Prepare to be astonished, unnerved, and ultimately, delighted. Lucky Day is groundbreaking, surrealist horror like you’ve never seen before.”—Liz Kerin, author of Night's Edge

Editorial Review

Hit the jackpot with surrealist gore
Ever since Bury Your Gays, I’ve been curious about Chuck Tingle’s brand of horror—especially since it’s not my typical go-to genre. Marauding pigs with cherubic masks, exploding faces, and a costumed chimpanzee wielding a typewriter are just a taste of the ghastly details—so random and outrageous that they become laughable camp. Turns out, I can giggle at terror when it’s done with love. Vera, our bisexual mathematics professor protagonist (narrated in perfect deadpan fashion by actress Mara Wilson), is enlisted to investigate the “Low Probability Event” that combusts the world, probing our existential dread in the process. Lucky Day is what happens when you put The Leftovers through a meat grinder and then cram in the craziest NSFW episode of Rick & Morty imaginable and serve it as chilled haute soup. —Jerry P., Audible Editor

Too many improbable scenarios, populated with unpleasant characters in wildly unrealistic situations. The narration is tired. I expected more.

Disappointing.

It kept me interested but not enthralled. the narrator fed a deep seeded rage within me with the way she drags out the last word of every sentence. I had to listen at 1.5 to make it remotely tolerable, absolutely took away from the experience

a bit of a fun story
