For a school assignment I need ten short stories that all relate to each other, and I've tried my best to find some but it really isn't working. There's no option to search by topic on any of the sites I've been to, and I can only pull the stories from databases, not just any site. The writers must also be well known, such as Anton Chekhov, or Mark Twain. I don't need all ten, but as many short stories as anyone could contribute would really help a lot. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance.

Also, I can only do a maximum of two entries from the same writer.

A Rose for Emily has the distinction of being a short story about love and horror.

Pick up some short story collections: DH Lawrence; Edgar Allen Poe; F Scott Fitzgerald; Ernest Hemingway; Anton Chekhov...the list is endless.
