After reading Ben Loory’s short story, “The TV,” in The New Yorker, I was hooked. Since then, I have been grabbing up his stories that have been published online. Today’s Story of the Day, “Sea Monster,” is one of my favorites. It originally appeared in Annalemma:
“The men of the town can only stare at him. They were there, with him, on the boat. They saw him fall into the cold, dark water. They heard him cry as he fell.”
I anxiously await Loory’s short story collection, Stories for Nighttime and Some for the Day, coming soon from Penguin Books.
