About this listen
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.

It’s the mid-'90s. Grunge and flannel are fading as the Spice Girls and Hot Topic conquer the malls. Cherry gloss glistens on the lips of the youth. Modems hiss as America comes online. And in a fog-drenched cove at the edge of New England, something terrible awakens when a fisherman reels in a gruesome catch: the remains of a young woman. Remains still pulsing with furious life.

Story
In Jason Mott’s Hell of a Book, a Black author sets out on a cross-country publicity tour to promote his bestselling novel. That storyline drives Hell of a Book and is the scaffolding of something much larger and more urgent: Mott’s novel also tells the story of Soot, a young Black boy living in a rural town in the recent past, and The Kid, a possibly imaginary child who appears to the author on his tour.

After his estranged father’s mysterious death, Charlie Remick returns to Seattle to help with the funeral.

When Charlie, his sister, and their two friends play the records, they unwittingly open a floodgate of unspeakable horror. As the darkness descends, they are stalked by a relentless, malevolent force and see the dead everywhere they turn.

Story
It’s autumn in the town of Harrow, but something besides the season is changing there. Because in that town there is an orchard, and in that orchard, seven most unusual trees. And from those trees grows a new sort of apple: strange, beautiful, with skin so red it’s nearly black. Take a bite of one of these apples, and you will desire only to devour another. And another. You will become stronger. More vital. More yourself, you will believe. But then your appetite for the apples and their peculiar gifts will keep growing—and become darker.

Ana and Reid needed a lucky break. The horrifically complicated birth of their first child has left Ana paralyzed, bitter, and struggling: with mobility, with her relationship with Reid, with resentment for her baby. That's about to change with the words any New Yorker would love to hear—affordable housing lottery. They've won an apartment in the Deptford, one of Manhattan's most revered buildings. Reid dismisses disturbing events and Ana’s deep unease and paranoia as the price of living in New York—people are odd—but he can't explain the needle-like bite marks on the baby.

Story
Martin Lorensen is a twenty-three-year-old counselor for disturbed teenagers. He’s bright, compassionate, attractive, and outgoing. He’s also—and this is the most interesting thing—not dead. Martin has improbably survived not one but two deadly disasters that claimed dozens of lives. The kid is riding one hell of a lucky streak. Two federal agents think there is something darker at play. Now that they’ve arranged to interview Martin, they want answers. Martin is ready to share everything he knows. One thing is for certain: when it comes to escaping death, luck doesn’t figure into it at all.

Anne is barely keeping it together. A frazzled ghostwriter and aspiring novelist, she juggles nine-year-old twins and a listless marriage from an overcrowded Manhattan apartment, spreading herself thinner each day. Just as Anne is about to give up on her dreams, she lands her biggest client yet: Melody Wells.

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!

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!

"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!
