Synopsis:
Vera is a survivor of a global catastrophe known as
the Low Probability Event, but she definitely isn't thriving. Once a passionate
professor of statistics, she no longer finds meaning in anything at all.
But when problematic government agent Layne knocks on her door, she's the only one who can help him uncover the connection between deadly spates of absurdity and an improbably lucky casino. What's happening in Vegas isn't staying there, and the world is at risk of another disaster.
When it comes to Chuck Tingle, the only thing more terrifying than a serious horror novel is an absurd one...
Miniature Review
Chuck Tingle has done it again. After falling in love with Camp Damascus in 2023, I knew I’d be picking up every new chuck book. Lucky Day proves Chuck is only getting sharper, stranger, and more brilliant with each book. Lucky Day is easily one of the best horror novels of 2025 I’ve read so far.
The story follows Vera, a survivor of a global catastrophe known as the Low Probability Event. Once an enthusiastic professor of statistics, she now drifts through life without purpose until government agent Layne arrives at her door. What follows is a spiralling mystery of impossible bursts of absurdity, a suspiciously lucky Las Vegas casino, and the looming threat of another worldwide disaster.
Like Camp Damascus, this novel is driven by a layered, deeply human protagonist. Chuck excels at grounding the absurd horror with emotional weight. His signature style shines here its absurdity crafted with precision, unsettling imagery that’s equal parts campy and chilling, and a narrative that is pure controlled chaos.
Lucky Day is undeniably horrific, but also strangely hopeful reminding us that even in a terrifying and absurd world, there’s always room for something better. Lucky Day is smart, surreal, terrifying, and ultimately hopeful.
What I love about Chuck Tingle’s horror is that he doesn’t simply write books he changes the way you I about the genre itself.
