Publisher's summary

Did you ever hear the one about the man with a string of bad luck? The worst is still to come in a chilling short story of an insatiable friendship by the New York Times bestselling author of Hell of a Book.

For best friends with vastly different fortunes, what’s left to hash out other than a forced confession at gunpoint? All that the destitute, sickly, and grieving Will demands is that monstrously successful Barry admit to draining all the luck right out of him. Like blood. As the standoff escalates, the truth is not the only thing ready to come out.

Jason Mott’s Best of Luck is part of Creature Feature, a collection of devilishly creepy stories that tingle the spine and twist the mind. They can be read or listened to in one petrifying sitting.

Love these little stories

This is a good story. A little cheesy, not too serious. More a campfire story but still a really fun read!

hehe

"When he looks back on his life, he sees that every day has been nothing but work. Sweat and toil and blisters and a bent back from one sunrise to the next, every one stacked atop a million others, and all of it calling itself a life."
Best of Luck by Jason Mott

"He looked like loneliness and hunger given form. Like the two things could throw on a pair of jeans and a shirt and shamble through the darkness of the world and come hold a gun on you in the late hours of the night."
Best of Luck by Jason Mott

"To come and visit Barry’s home was to be welcomed into a space filled with secrets, a space that wanted to be explored a little more each time. 'That’s what a friendship is supposed to be' "
Best of Luck by Jason Mott

"He knew that, given the proper lack of alternatives, anything could be gotten used to."

3 Stars!

Best of Luck by Jason Mott is about Barry and Will who have different fortunes in life. Will hasn’t always been unlucky, but when a string of unlucky events threaten to ruin his life, he blames his friend Barry - who seems to have all the good luck.. and extra!

• 5stars: This short story was well written. I liked the idea of the story and The twist at the end was cool and unexpected.
• 4 stars - 3stars: I felt like something was missing.
I sat on this review for a couple days. At first, I didnt know what/how to rate. After listening to the story for the second time, Ive realized its the length. I think it could have benefited from about 30more minutes of story (I listened on Audible)

3 Stars!

Wow! Surprise ....surprise

Another winner in this collection and a terrifying one at that. Also my first book by Jason Mott.

Two old friends, one staring into the end of a double barrel while another tells a (five-star) joke. One friend has all the luck while the other suffers tremendous loss. Is he mad or just jealous?

Oooh...Best of Luck is twisted and not something I could even predict! It started with a very funny joke and I let my guard down. Well played!

Terrifically Terrifying

Very horrifying story told by an excellent narrator. Troubling, thought-provoking and original story with a superb performance by the narrator.

Not my favorite

This is my least favorite of the series. The overall reviews for it are great, but I guess they saw something in it that I didn’t. But it was free, so not all bad.
