Lucky 13

by Michael Laimo

First published 2014

This anthology presents thirteen stories that examine luck from every angle. The contributors span multiple genres, from Trent Zelazny and Jessica McHugh to Sarah A. Hoyt and Patrick Thomas. Each writer tackles the central question differently. Some view luck as random chance, others as divine intervention or controllable force. The stories move between horror, fantasy, and science fiction settings. Characters face moments where a single coin flip destroys or transforms their lives. The collection asks whether luck exists as measurable probability or mysterious power. Brady Allen, Danielle Ackley-McPhail, Robert E. Waters, and other contributors bring their distinct perspectives to fortune's role in human experience. Michael Laimo rounds out the roster with his own take on chance and consequence. The anthology challenges readers to consider luck's true nature while delivering entertainment across genres.
