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.
"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)
