A brand new edition of Life's Lottery - an exciting speculative fiction novel that invites the reader to assume the role of the protagonist!

A role-playing novel that reveals how small decisions can have monumental consequences. If you choose the right possibilities you may live a long happy life, or be immensely rich, or powerful, or win the lottery. If you make other choices you may become a murderer, die young, make every mistake possible, or make no impression on life at all. The choice is yours.
Kim Newman is the critically acclaimed author of the Anno Dracula series. He has won the Bram Stoker, International Horror Guild, British Fantasy and British Science Fiction Awards and been nominated for the Hugo and World Fantasy Awards.
"Put “LIfe’s Lottery” on your summer reading list" - Retrenders

"Newman can be twisted, deranged and just plain off the charts. Life’s Lottery takes it to a whole new level, leaving the reader responsible for their own actions and unable to just melt into the subtle brain space of reading a book. Life’s Lottery is an enjoyable, albeit highly twisted, way to spend an afternoon." -  The Geek Girl Project 

"A lot of fun." - FanGirl Confessions

"Brilliant AND hugely entertaining. Recommended unreservedly." - Comic Book Resources 

“a pretty staggering achievement...the issues of free will and predestination will definitely remind you of the Netflix experiment [Bandersnatch], played out on a slightly bigger canvas” - Barnes & Noble SFF Blog
