can anyone recommend a good anthology of short stories?
i'm talking the classic here, like "the most dangerous game", "the lottery", "the monkeys paws".
i guess you can say they kind of have a macabre feel but i think most short stories are like that. just trying to find a nice one stop shop to put on my kindle. thanks!

Do you have epub?

pic related, it was in my uncles cabin and was probably the first book of horror stories I ever encountered, the cabin burned down and the book was lost. But it has some really great stories in it.
Also, even though it is encroaching on meme territory, Borges Collected Fictions and the Complete Lovecraft are a must.

This isnt /fit/. The sticky here is terrible, and the board is made for discussing and suggesting books.

Jesus Son- Denis Johnson
Bear and His Daughter- Robert Stone
The Weird- Jeff and Ann VanderMeer
TC Boyle vol. 1 and 2

The sticky is fine, there is a short story section, and if it isn't, edit it and make it better. And I just looked at the /fit/ one, a bunch of the links don't even work. But stick to /fit/ if it's so great.
This board is for DISCUSSING books. When you've actually read something, come back and make a thread.

How can he edit the sticky and make it better if he doesn't know what's good? I assume that's why he's asking for recommendations.
Nine Stories by JD Salinger is fantastic regardless of what you think about Catcher
cosmicomics
fiction by borges
anything from gogol
DFW is pretty good on the more essayist side
