Reviews
"Ben Loory's stories are little gifts, strange and moving and wonderfully human. I devoured this book in one sitting." --Ransom Riggs, author of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children "Russell Edson's new protg, or Steven Millhauser, distilled into tea. Meet, or re-meet Ben Loory, whose preposterous, friendly stories can't help but charm. They are so bizarrely readable they don't even feel like they're made of words." --Aimee Bender, author of The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake "To read a Ben Loory story is to slip through a portal into an adjacent dimension. To learn--with brevity and clarity--the laws of this universe next door, new rules of logic and contradiction and truth. And, in the end, to be left with the disturbing and wondrous feeling of having never left home at all." --Charles Yu, author of How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe "These tiny off-kilter fairy tales, equal parts Beckett and Twilight Zone , will amply suit surrealistic seniors and twisted teens alike. Perfect for reading on strange beaches and by oddly-shaped swimming pools. Fits right in your pocket or purse for emergency doses of the charming and weird." --Janet Fitch, author of White Oleander "Parables, dark fables, quirky flash fictions--call them what you will, Ben Loory has perfected the form and in Tales of Falling and Flying proves once again he can disturb a little and entertain a lot. Easily read, not easily forgotten." --Jeff VanderMeer, author of The Southern Reach Trilogy "One of my favorite writers, smart, original Ben Loory is almost impossible to describe. Like Bruno Schulz, if Schulz had been born to a left-handed Little League coach in Short Hills, New Jersey? Like Lydia Davis, if she'd been hatched from an egg? Like listening to a conversation between Bette Davis and Miles Davis outside the house where Amy Winehouse died? Like listening to Mick and Keef not talk about Altamont? Probably there is a war going on somewhere, but these cool, dazzling little tales will never let on." --Peter Straub, author of A Dark Matter, "Ben's stories are little gifts, strange and moving and wonderfully human. I devoured this book in one sitting." --Ransom Riggs, author of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children "Parables, dark fables, quirky flash fictions--call them what you will, Ben Loory has perfected the form and in Tales of Falling and Flying proves once again he can disturb a little and entertain a lot.

They are so bizarrely readable they don't even feel like they're made of words." --Aimee Bender, author of The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake "Ben Loory is a wonder. I'd like to curl up inside his marvelous head and canoodle with a besotted squid, swallow a tiny dragon, levitate with Death and fall in love with the Eiffel Tower, and after reading these sublime stories--slyly funny, melancholy, and deeply weird--I suppose I have, and it was fantastic." --Elissa Schappell, author of Blueprints for Building Better Girls "Who the hell is this guy? What happened to make this brain? These are the questions you'll ask after Ben Loory's Tales of Falling and Flying . Loory is the psychedelic Aesop of our modern age, the king of talking birds and frogs, characters named war and peace, the Apuleius of the internet generation. His words are full of swords and wings. Get ready. They'll cut you. They'll make you fly." --Scott McClanahan, author of The Sarah Book "To read a Ben Loory story is to slip through a portal into an adjacent dimension. To learn--with brevity and clarity--the laws of this universe next door, new rules of logic and contradiction and truth. And, in the end, to be left with the disturbing and wondrous feeling of having never left home at all." --Charles Yu, author of How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe "These tiny off-kilter fairy tales, equal parts Beckett and Twilight Zone , will amply suit surrealistic seniors and twisted teens alike.

Easily read, not easily forgotten." --Jeff VanderMeer, author of The Southern Reach Trilogy "Ben Loory's stories are like perfect k�ans cracked from inside the world's smartest fortune cookie; funny, crunchy, and irresistible." --Mark Haskell Smith, author of Naked at Lunch "One of my favorite writers, Ben Loory is almost impossible to describe. Like Bruno Schulz, if Schulz had been born to a left-handed Little League coach in Short Hills, New Jersey? Like Lydia Davis, if she'd been hatched from an egg? Like listening to a conversation between Bette Davis and Miles Davis outside the house where Amy Winehouse died? Like listening to Mick and Keef not talk about Altamont? Probably there is a war going on somewhere, but these cool, dazzling little tales will never let on." --Peter Straub, author of A Dark Matter "This darn book is like receiving a sword in the mail or finding a maze in the kitchen or a squid who fell in love with the sun or a dragon in the backyard; it's confusing at first and then the next thing happens." --Ron Carlson, author of Five Skies and Return to Oakpine, "Ben Loory's stories are little gifts, strange and moving and wonderfully human. I devoured this book in one sitting." --Ransom Riggs, author of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children "To read a Ben Loory story is to slip through a portal into an adjacent dimension.
