Lucky Day

A statistics professor tries to a survive a series of gruesome and impossibly unlikely disasters linked to a supernaturally lucky Vegas casino, while dealing with her own erasure as a bisexual, in this chilling and quick-witted horror novel.

Vera, a bisexual statistics professor, is one of the survivors of a global disaster of a new kind – the Low Probability Event. What should have been a simple family lunch turns into an absurd catastrophe raining fish, parade balloons, exploding manholes and brutally violent animal attacks.

Washed up the aftermath, it’s only when the handsome, but problematic, government agent Layne knocks on her door that she is offered a glimpse of meaning to life. Layne is investigating the Low Probability Event, and believes the deadly absurd events may be linked to an improbably lucky casino.

As they hit the road to try and make sense of the meaningless chaos of life, only one thing is clear – what happens in Vegas isn’t staying there…
