Fifty Great Short Stories by Milton Crane

3.0

This could have been way more diverse, but overall, it's a great collection of classic stories. It took me back to school days, reading short stories for English class that change your life and stick with you forever. On a side note, it's a shame that Alice Munro and Joyce Carol Oates weren't included here (especially Oates' story, Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?)

Favourites:
The Other Side of the Hedge, E.M. Forster
Putois, Anatole France
The Lottery, Shirley Jackson
The Masque of the Red Death, Edgar Allan Poe
A Good Man is Hard to Find, Flannery O'Connor
The Curfew Tolls, Stephen Vincent Benét
The Chrysanthemums, John Steinbeck
An Upheaval, Anton Chekhov
How Beautiful with Shoes, Wilbur Daniel Steele
The Catbird Seat, James Thurber
The Tale, Joseph Conrad
