Leave Luck to Heaven is a collection of lyric essays with haunted, haunting reflections on the following classic games:
Super Mario Bros., Rad Racer, Maniac Mansion, River City Ransom, Adventure Island, Metroid, Bubble Bobble, Double Dribble, Rampage, Ninja Gaiden, Contra, Balloon Fight, Goonies II, Dragon Warrior, Kid Icarus, RBI Baseball, Tetris, Ghosts 'N Goblins, and more.
These gorgeous essays are not like other essays. They are not paeans to nostalgia. They are mortality, obsession, love, hunger, need, and strangeness. They are the weird, painful things we made NES games carry for us because we didn't know where else to put them.
