BOOK DISCOVERY
Lucky Day
First published 2025
Lucky Day, by Chuck Tingle, is a 2025 English-language novel classified as horror, science fiction, thriller, and LGBTQIA+ fiction. Its subjects include accidents, casinos, chance, fortune, bisexual women, and horror fiction, creating a framework in which risk may be personal, social, and probabilistic at once. The title evokes favorable coincidence, but the surrounding metadata complicate luck by placing it beside danger and uncertainty. The book can therefore be approached through genre tensions: suspense and speculation, chance and agency, and queer representation within a threatening or unstable world.
