Hard Luck

by Scott Lefebvre, Dusty Davis (Contributor), James Dorr (Contributor)

This is a collection of short stories about what happens when things go from bad to worse. When no matter how hard you try, and regardless of your good intentions, the worst case scenario is inevitable. Everything doesn't always work out in the end and not every ending is a happy one. Sometimes the only thing that helps you to feel better about your life is hearing about someone who has it even worse. Sometimes Hard Luck is the only kind of luck you've got.

190 pages, Paperback

About the author

Scott Lefebvre can write about whatever you want him to write about.
Mostly because when he was grounded for his outlandish behavior as a hyperactive school child, the only place he was allowed to go was the public library.
His literary tastes were forged by the works of Helen Hoke, Alvin Schwartz and Stephen Gammell, Ray Bradbury, Richard Matheson, Stephen King, Clive Barker, Edgar Allan Poe, and H. P. Lovecraft.
He is the author of Spooky Creepy Long Island, and a contributing author to Forrest J. Ackerman’s Anthology of the Living Dead, Fracas: A Collection of Short Friction, The Call of Lovecraft, and Cashiers du Cinemart.
He is currently working on ten novel-length book projects which will be released in 2014.
He also publishes themed collections of interviews from his interview blog You Are Entitled To My Opinion.
His reviews have been published by a variety of in print and online media including Scars Magazine, Icons of Fright, Fatally Yours and Screams of Terror, and he has appeared in Fangoria, Rue Morgue and HorrorHound Magazine.
He is the Assistant Program Director for The Arkham Film Society and produces electronic music under the names Master Control and LOVECRAFTWORK.
He is currently working on a novel-length expansion of a short-story titled, "The End Of The World Is Nigh", a crowd-funded, crowd-sourced, post-apocalyptic, zombie epidemic project.

Reviews

[Shadow Girl · Rating 5 out of 5]

Misery loves company, and HARD LUCK has misery on tap!
This collection has the perfect blend of stories & authors that compliment each other perfectly.
Sometimes hearing about other people's problems helps make your own easier to handle. I just got a huge ‘bend-over’ from life myself, and to put it eloquently (and to act like I’m a bro…) – she didn’t even give me a reach-around! While reading the Foreword, written by Scott Lefebvre, I just kept nodding…with an ironic smirk on my face, because, you never get a 'quickie' from life. When one thing goes, the rest follow suit. Scott wrote a line that I have said in blog posts, status updates, tweets, and, I’ve even said it out loud… “Sorry I haven’t finished “______” yet, but – life happened.” & “Sorry, but… Life keeps getting in the way.” And, to quote Scott… “It continues to happen.”
If you’ve ever gone through a rough patch, ever considered ending it – rather than doing just. one. more. day. Even if you’ve just had one epically bad day, you’ll be able to relate to something in this collection!
Come join the discussion on BBB - I've said a little about each story & author, and would love to hear your thoughts about the book, too!
