Are these mostly single short stories or books of short stories Bill? I've read several of your authors, but less for short stories than longer works.

These look like fun, Bill. I may need to grab some of these for my tbr, as well.

I don't read a lot of short stories so have only read a couple, but your list looks like a really fun mix. Good luck!

Hopefully not. I love a good novella/short story.

Interesting list. The only one I've read is the one by P.D. James. Look forward to hearing your thoughts.
Happy Reading!
