Stories for Nighttime and Some for the Day by Ben Loory
4.0
Ben Loory has put together collection of some of the creepiest, most thought-provoking stories I’ve read in a long time. The best part is that the creepy isn’t always from the supernatural element – which is frequently there – but from the parallel that can be drawn for every day life.
It’s hard to provide an example without giving away the end of the stories, but they’re there and they’re beautiful. There’s a ton in this collection for anyone who like fantasy or science fiction of any type, and I’d heartily recommend it for book clubs – there’s lots to discuss.
And look at that cover! Simply gorgeous – that’s what attracted me in the first place, but the writing kept me around.
