Mythology seems the most likely candidate, but it's a weird, cryptic, and very modern mythology. A lot of the stories were reminiscent of Lynch's Mulholland Drive, but not in any tangible way. No, the movie, much like this collection, was so confusing that it made my stomach churn, especially on...
The stories in this book reminded me of the works of [a:Arnold Lobel|12447|Arnold Lobel|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/authors/1201019183p2/12447.jpg] (specifically [b:Owl at Home|410009|Owl at Home|Arnold Lobel|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1347324059s/410009.jpg|1975418]), if ...
40 pieces of Flash Fiction that has enough twist and turns to upset a big wheel. As you read about; books of life, paths that lead to death, a magic pig, Bigfoot and much more.I read a few of these to my older two daughters, they listened with all ears. Including "The Octopus" which kinda reminds me...
I've finished reading only the first part then I have to return it the library. It's fine though because I know I'll hunt this book down and own it for myself and nobody will be allowed to borrow it.Is it that wonderful, you asked? Well, these rambling marvelous stories reminded me of my most loved ...
Si bien el autor definitivamente sabe crear una atmósfera interesante, es muy desesperante leer historia tras historia sin que ninguna tenga un cierre.Es probablemente lo que el autor quería, pero si quiero leer historias breves, ligeramente espeluznantes o raras y con twists al final pero sin final...
I didn't get it. I was so excited to read this book, really I was. I loved the cover and I was excited to read something different, something out of my norm but this.......I was totally missing everything, obviously. I picked it up a couple times and thought perhaps it was my frame of mind and I ne...
Stories for Nighttime and Some for the Day is a beguiling and thought-provoking collection of short fiction that strays from the beaten path, but is better for following its own rhythm. I haven’t found many collections of short stories that I like, but it was pleasure to read through these, and I w...
Stories for Nighttime and Some for the Day: Because it was a much better title than Things That Make You Go Hmmm. At it's heart, that's what Ben Loory's collection is though, stories that make you wonder, think, and occasionally leave you confused.In simple language and with as few words as possibl...
I had no idea what to expect of these short stories, which are described by one blurb-er as a "love child" of Mother Goose and Philip K. Dick. Exciting! Then I saw that Jack Zipes was one of the blurb-ers (is there a better, more official name?) and I was sold. (I should add I'm rarely swayed by ...
