Stories for Nighttime and Some for the Day

Ben Loory’s stories often mix dark elements with playful magic. I wonder what led to this unique tone and how he balances the two.

A lot of these tales evoke a sense of mystery, but I’m curious whether that ambiguity was intentional or if there’s a deeper meaning I missed.

The title suggests a distinction, but I’d love to hear if the stories for daytime are lighter or if they carry their own kind of magic and darkness.
