À propos de cet audio
“Mara Wilson's sober narration style and consistent pacing create an amusing juxtaposition with the unlucky events that unfold.” — AudioFile
“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

Ce que les critiques en disent
Praise for Lucky Day:
“An existential masterwork that, like life, is equal parts atrocity and delights. In Tingle's hands, the slow trudge toward mortality regains its sense of marvel. We are all lucky for the statistically infinitesimal chance to be alive while Chuck Tingle is writing books.”
—Olivie Blake, New York Times bestselling author of Masters of Death
“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
"Tingle wows with an absurdist existential horror novel that is as funny as it is unexpectedly devastating, complex, and challenging...Combining irreverent moments of surreality with an earnest message about finding hope even in the face of brutality, this is Tingle’s best yet."
—Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW
“Tingle’s latest is an absurd romp, but underneath the off-the-wall mayhem lies his most sophisticated work to date.”
—Booklist, STARRED REVIEW
