I often think short stories don't get enough respect. They have a particular skill that deserves appreciation separately from longer forms, and for the time-poor, they have the significant advantage of convenience. There are many anthologies that collate the best short stories in a given field, and magazines built entirely around publishing them. It's a big space to navigate, so we need your help!
Whatever form they take, introduce us to the best short story collections you know, or perhaps just your favourites. Be sure to tell us a little about what we can expect (a particular genre? Author? Theme?) and what makes it/them so good.
Written or video submissions are welcome. Third-party images showing us what it looks like on the shelves are optional but encouraged. The best 15 submissions get $1 apiece!
Task: Share the best collections of short stories that you know and tell us a little about them
Format: Original writing or video, any length
