About Short Stories

No time for a big read? Try a compact and compelling short story instead. Short stories give readers all the captivating characters, drama, and descriptive language of lengthier novels but in a concise, concentrated format. Escape from the everyday with both classic and modern short stories and watch for their surprising endings. You only have to look at classics like The Lottery, The Gift of The Magi or anything by Dorothy Parker or Ernest Hemingway to see how powerful a short story can be. Add the stripped-down stories by the grandfather of the modern short story, Anton Chekov, the macabre tales of Edgar Allen Poe or the bawdy exploits of Geoffrey Chaucer to see how important and interesting the short story form is. Going further back, fables and fairytales are great examples of the emotional punch of the short story. Interested in dipping your toe into the short story genre? Check out some of the best short story anthologies: 100 Years of the Best American Short Stories or Object Lessons: The Paris Review Presents the Art of the Short Story for some of the most inventive and best-loved stories of our time. But don’t be surprised if one just isn’t enough.
