Katherine Mansfield's simple and elegant; The Picton Boat.
The best short story : A Good Man is ahrd to find by Flannery O'Connor ; Hawthorne's "The BirthMark"
Joyce Carol Oates' "Manhattan Romance".

For me the best short story i have read so far is Notes from the Underground.
the wall
a hunger artist
the cask of amontillado
the diary of a madman
the most dangerous game
a few i can remember as of now
I responded to the thread about truly great short story writers, but I wondered what stories everyone considers truly great. The one's I think are truly great include:
A Rose for Emily - Faulkner
The Fall of the House of Usher - Poe
The Kiss - Chekhov
The Lady With the Dog - Chekhov
The Horse Dealer's Daughter - D.H. Lawrence
The Blind Man - D.H. Lawrence
Miss Brill - Katherine Mansfield
There are others, but I just can't think right now.
Vendetta was good.
The Schoolteacher's Guest was wonderful. Can't remember who it's by.
I bolded up the ones I read and loved, too. Excellent stories - all!Originally Posted by MissScarlett

What is the best short story of ALL TIME?
Who knows? I think a "Top 10" (or at least a "Top 5") list would be much easier
to answer.
If God lived on Earth, people would break his windows.
ALOHA - Salutations - CIAO - Venlig Hilsen - SALUT -Med Hilsener - SHALOM - Freundliche GruBe - SALUDOS Salutations - SAYONARA - Be Seeing You!
Funny how there's now two threads asking almost the same thing

That happen on the Soul
And leave it with a Discontent
Too exquisite — to tell —

Nice question. The best story is "Tower of Babel" . This story stands for a universal theme for people who are wondering why there are multiple languages all over the world.
The Story of Bibi Haldar--- by Jhumpa Lahiri...It has a different sensibility
Coloured Lights was also a good collection but don't remember the writer
A Clean Well-Lighted Place - Hemingway
A Good Man Is Hard To Find - O'Connor
