Yo, If you were putting together an anthology of short stories, which would be must-includes for you? these are mine, my tastes veer towards genre fiction. Details- China Mieville In the hills, the cities - Clive Barker Mrs. midnight - Reggie Oliver The Transformation of Martyn Lake - Jeff Vandermeer The Guernsback continuum- William Gibson Shiva, open your eye - Laird Barron Technicolour- John Langan Casting the Runes - MR James Gonna roll the bones - Fritz Lieber The Prowler in the City at the Edge of the World - Harlan Ellison Glacial - Alistair Reynolds Tried to only include one story per author (otherwise China Mieville would completely dominate the list) but these are a few off the top of my head. What would yours be?
Flatland, Edwin Abbot, (A journey into 2 dimensional space). Robbie, (the beginning of the robot series), Nightfall, (...on a world that has never known night), Isaac Asimov Mars is Heaven, (turned into a Twilight zone episode), I Sing the Body Electric (The Electric Grandmother), Ray Bradbury Farewell to the Master (The Night the Earth Stood Still), Harry Bates The Sentinel (2001 A Space Odyssey), Arthur C. Clark He Walked Around the Horses (and disappeared) , H. Beam Piper I, Robot (influenced Asimov's book, I Robot), Eando Binder
kundera' short stories are amazing. also the ones of borges. sorry, ive read em all in turkish, i dont know the english names of the stories.. have fun..
Auto, I don't know ANY of those! lol Not an extensive list, but these would have to be included for sure; Nine Stories-J.D. Salinger Welcome to the Monkey House-Kurt Vonnegut (actually, I still have to finish these. oops! )
