About the book
Ben Loory's first story collection gathers 40 short modern fables whose cast of people, monsters, aliens, animals, trees and objects is driven by fear and desire. In these stories a television talks and sometimes sings, animals live in small apartments and receive visits from nephews who come up from the sea, and characters tumble down wells, travel through space or fall in love on a Ferris wheel. The tone moves between dark and playful, drawing on myth, fable and dream. Three of the pieces aired on This American Life and another ran in The New Yorker. Barnes & Noble chose it in the fall for its Discover Great New Writers program.
Alina Varlanuta, creator of The Hole in Your Head, said she was enjoying each of its very short stories while reading it.

I’m currently reading ‘Stories for Nighttime and Some for the Day’ by Ben Loory and I’m enjoying each very short-story.
