Favorite Short Stories?

[Thomas Walker]

Sometimes, we don't want to sit and read a whole novel. Thanks to ebooks, there are no shortage of short stories that entertain.

 

Does anyone have any favorite short stories or novellas? 40 pages or less?

I too am looking for that. But they should be interesting.

Tolstoy's "The Three Questions" is a favorite short story of mine.

Ray Bradbury's stories that make up "The Martian Chronicles" are a rare combination of science fiction, deep subjects and a delicious prose. The stories share a common thread but can be read completely independently. My favorite one: "There will come soft rains".

I like Larry Niven 's "Known space" and "Neutron star". They both contain a good collection of short Sci fi stories.

I am a big fan of Ray Bradbury. "There will come soft rains" was one of his stories adapted by EC Comics. I think my favorite was "The Veld". That may have been in "The Illlustrated Man". I read the "Illustrated Man" before I read the Martian Chonicles." I like the fact that his were not so much sience fiction but were more fantasy, which how he labeled them. Supposedly the only one he wrote as science fiction was "Fahenheit 451".

I was scared to death of The Ruum for many nights after reading it.

There is a short YT video about this that is worthy of a Razzie award.
