every chucktingle book gets weirder and weirder (complimentary).
intense from the first page, tingle drops you into the world of statistics professor vera who is on the cusp of achieving it all- until she isn’t. everything changes in the blink of an eye, and we’re right along with vera as everything literally unravels around her.
i read most of this book with my mouth open in horror and awe of the things tingle cooks up. in true chuck fashion, there’s gore aplenty but it WORKS. most queer people i know have had the “what good is trying? what does it matter?” talk with themselves, and being inside vera’s brain while she’s having them herself sure was painful!
one of my favorite things about a tingle book (aside from the many existential crises they give me) is his ability to put the characters through hell and back but not break their spirits. queer people are resilient as fuck and chuck gets it.
another 10/10 from tingle as far as i’m concerned.
lucky day publishes 08/12/25!
