I hated some of the stories but yellow wallpaper was in here and that was enough for me

This was my university textbook. A few stories were hella boring, some were good

This is a fabulous collection of short stories from some of the best and most renowned writers out there. With a wide range of writers and genres and subject matters I think there’s something for everyone in here. Whether you choose to read this just because you love to read, because you love short stories or you want a better understanding of what the short story is capable of, this is the ideal anthology. I haven’t read every piece in here yet but I’m looking forward to doing so at a later date. My favourite so far has been “A Rose for Emily” by William Faulkner.

A fabulous collection of short stories spanning 150 years, I highly recommend it if you’re a fan of classics & contemporary literature. Authors include: Jamaica Kincaid, Faulkner, Melville, Hawthorne, Flannery O’Connor, Tim O’Brian, Joyce. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and will be adding it to my collection.

Edgar Allen Poe - The Black Cat, specifically, The Cask of Amontillado are personal favourite. Perfectly mastered short stories, dripping in irony and symbolism. Great text for students to study.
