2018 best shorts
Dec. 29th, 2018 02:35 pmSome of my favourite short stories that I've read this year:
Prayers for a Fox by Enza Garcai Arreaza - this is probably the best short story I have ever read in a long time
Cat Pictures Please by Naomi Kritzer
American Standard of Perfection by Kate Finegan - this could be a novel, but it's all there in this short story. so good
Who Will Water the Wallflowers by Eliza Robertson
Inventory by Carmen Maria Machado - yes, I loved The Husband Stitch, but I love this speculative fiction story more
A Brief History of the Homely Wench Society by Helen Oyeyemi - and everything else in What is Not Yours is Not Yours, especially "Books and Roses" and "Dornicka and the St. Martens Day Goose"
