Ben Loory

Fun to read - an original voice.

I was really looking forward to reading this book because I like short story collections, especially of the fantasy/paranormal/supernatural persuasion, but unfortunately, I don't think it was quite for me. I was left wanting more often than not, not because I didn't get the story, but because it fell somewhat flat. There were a few very well written stories, and I did enjoy those, I just felt there were too few of these.

3/5 stars.

adult fiction/short stories. I don't generally go for short stories, because I find them too long and not that rewarding, but Loory's collection of ultra short stories and "flash" fiction are like quick punches that can be consumed instantly. Pleasantly surprising.

This was such an entertaining read! The weirdest thing is, the first bunch of stories had the oddest endings but each story in this book really reeled me in. I definitely want to read another book by this author and...I highly recommend this read.
