This is story 5 of Amazon's short story collection Creature Feature. I love that these releases include the kindle and the audible version for each.
This one was unique in its imagining of the “creature” for a creature feature. It is both imagery for human greed and excess, as well as something ageless and dark. And human need, as well as WANT, is a huge point in this story. The “need” for more, the desire, the want, to do everything possible for your own. It was unique and interesting.
As this is virtually one single conversation, it was a bit straightforward and I did nail the ‘twist' the second it started. Still enjoyable though! Personally a 3/5*.
Part of the Creature Feature Collection from Amazon.
Ah this was so good! Sometimes the worst monsters are people and this was so chilling.
This was my first from Jason Mott so will definitely be looking for more from him.
Good quick read!
Good quick spooky read! Didn't expect the ending but loved it all the same! Amazon has done a great job cultivating this collection.
“Good luck is another name for tenacity of purpose.” – RWEI really enjoyed “Best of Luck” by Jason Mott. It's an elevated horror short that is relatable, exciting, terrifying, and fun.Plot: Will and Barry are friends who both have something they need to get off their chests. (quite literally) One accuses the other of stealing the luck out of their lives, which leaves the pair in a precarious situation. Tensions rise as the pair's conversations take a turn for the worst. What type of otherworldly creature could spawn from this envious confrontation? Well, you will have to dive into this fresh, exciting story that is far and away my favorite of this series. Give it a go, but if you have bad luck with it, you might just want to check your person for creepy crawlies.
