I recently read Suzanne Delage by Gene Wolfe, and Nightfall by Asimov.
Nightfall is a good sci-fi short story. It's the one that made Asimov a name. Suzanne Delage is a story where nothing much seems to happen, but if you look beneath the surface it's horrifying. Which is good for people who like being horrified.
And then I also read Conversation Piece, 1945 by Nabokov. Which was great.
Anything by Chekhov really >Enemies >Neighbours >The Grasshopper >Chameleon >The Kiss >The Death of the Office Clerk
For pure entertainment, some of O. Henry >The Ransom of Red Chief >The Gift of the Magi >Makes the Whole World Go Kin >Springtime a la carté >The Last Leaf
A few others that come to my mind >The Cask of Amontillado by Poe >Winter Dreams by the Great Gatsby >The Law of Life and To Build a Fire by Jack London >An Occurence at Owl Creek by Ambrose Pierce
Anyone who could help with finding the name of a short story I read somewhere. The plot is about discarded things on an attic or a junk heap and they tell stories about what they did and why they ended up there and the last one to speak is a wooden horse telling about the many adventures young boys would take him on in their imaginations. Any clues?
Otherwise, I really like The tower of the Elephant by Howard, To kill a child by Stig Dagerman.
>The Vanishing American, Charles Beaumont >The Colour Out of Space and/or The Dreams in the Witch >House by H.P. Lovecraft >Anything by Ray Bradbury, in particular his October Country collection. I'm particularly fond of Uncle Einar, The Wind, and The Scythe, but they're all pretty solid. >Washington Irving's The Adventure of the German Student.
The district doctor, Tugeniev
The Kiss, Chekhov
Prisioner of Caucasus, Tolstoy
A gentle creature, Dostoevsky
Good Old Neon, Wallace
To build a fire, London
Enoch Soames, Beerbohm
Chess, Zweig
Tlon Uqbar and Orbis Tertius, Borges
En memória de Paulina, Bioy Casares
La isla a mediodía, Cortazar
Vagabundo en Francia y Bélgica, Bolano
O voo da madrugada, Sant'anna
The Hawaii, Vampire arc, and Rockstar handler stories in The Informers, Ellis. Pancakes Breece is better than all the authors that praise him publicly. Can't go wrong with Poe. Bukowski was an inconsistent poet, but he mastered the short story.
My favorite short story of all time is Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius by Jorge Luis Borges. I can't really put into words why I like it, I don't even really understand it at all. But I love it.
Raymond Chandler
Ernest Hemingway
Kafka

>muh hemingway
>old turd in a boat
Young Goodman Brown
Boccaccio
Chaucer
Plato's dialogues
1001 Nights
Hemmingway
Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius is my favorite single short story. I hold it in as much regard as any great novel or poem
My favorite from Borges is the Circular Ruins.
That one, too, is great. He has written more than one short story deserving of being mentioned in this thread
I like that Tlon has the coin appearing in the real world at the end. Sort of like a “was it real the whole time?” TZ ep or something.
my favourite too; alonside Cortázar story about eating bunnies in Paris (don't remember the name but it's in Bestiario)
The House of Asterion by Borges
Under the Jaguar Sun by Calvino

Best story about suicidal ideation that I've read.
>Three-Ten to Yuma by Leonard
>The Burning Plain by Rulfo
>A Perfect Day for Banana Fish by Salinger
>Barn Burning by Faulkner
>The Killers by Hemingway
>The Return by Bolaño
>The Burning Plain
Never realized Rulfo's entire output could be placed on a single novel. Wish he wrote more stuff.
