Recommand me a Short story collection?

[JuanMSanchez]

Hi. I recently went to Youtube and found a nice short story collection: French stories. It starts with a story by Alexandre Dumas and so on. My favorite story teller is Jack London, and he has a lot of stories, so you can find his complete works and have fun for a while. The same with Alan Poe. I am also a writer and I have quite a bunch of short stories written. They are romantic realistic stories, but some of them are sutble horror or magic realism. If you want to take a look I leave you the link: literaryechoes.com Please leaveme come honest comments about how you like them.

Some good Canadian Short Stories can be found by looking up W.D. Valgardson or Margaret Atwood.
American Short Stories I liked can be found from O. Henry (he's my fave in American Shorts)
Ukrainian Short Stories I liked were from Nikolai Gogol
I actually appreciated all the short stories from Stephen King.
F. Kafka wrote amazing short stories...

It is all up to the reader's tastes in 'literature', methinks.

The short stories of TC Boyle. The stories of Neil Munro, Ambrose Bierce, James Shaw Grant, John Cheever. Lots of others.

Would anyone like to start a discussion of Ficciones. I am presently reading the stories but find it a tad unreachable. I checked for analytical essays online but have found very little despite the author's great reputation and would like it if some of your could share your insights into Borges's highly metaphysical writings.

I can't attempt a discussion on Ficciones. But I recommend A Swim in a Pond on the Rain by George Saunders. It reprints short stories be Chekov, Tolstoy, Turgenev, and Gogol, and analyzes them in an attempt to discover techniques and methods other writers can use. Saunders is an excellent novelist and short story writer, and teaches creative writing at Syracuse U.

The book is excellent, as are the masterpieces analyzed.

Here's a Guardian review:
