Poker Face meets Contagion in this next novel by USA Today bestselling author and beloved internet icon Chuck Tingle.
After a global disaster prompts thousands of comically unlikely deaths, a bisexual statistics professor-who has convinced herself she might not exist-and an ethically dubious government agent must travel to Las Vegas to unravel the connection between deadly bouts of absurdity and a supernaturally lucky casino.
"Mara Wilson strikes a serious tone as this existential horror audiobook becomes gradually more absurd. Vera is a passionate statistics and probability professor and soon-to-be-author. But a global catastrophe, termed a Low Probability Event, leads to the sudden deaths of millions, including her own mother, under astronomically improbable odds. Years later, agent Special Agent Layne recruits Vera for help uncovering the connection between that tragedy and an impossibly lucky casino. Wilson's sober narration style and consistent pacing create an amusing juxtaposition with the unlucky events that unfold in front of Vera, including fish falling from the sky and monkeys bashing people with typewriters. Wilson's emotional connection to Vera genuinely depicts her trauma, and she voices Vera's statistical breakdowns with engagement. S.K.R. � AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine"
