The Gift of the Magi has always been my favorite

My favorites are Roads of Destiny, The Last Leaf, and The Passing of Black Eagle. His stories are a lot of fun, though occasionally unexpectedly tragic, and he is a master of impactful plot twists in short amounts of words!

The Cop and the Anthem. The MC, Soapy, is a blast 😂

I concur on 'The Cop and the Anthem'. 'The Last Leaf' is good, but be prepared that it is very sad!
Oh! Oh! 'The Ransom of Red Chief'! You will chuckle, then laugh, then quote it the rest of your life! "Do you know who my favorite Bible character is?...King Herod."
Oh, and 'After Twenty Years'. Talk about fabulous twists!
