Recommended Reading II: Kris's Picks

Like Shane, I also read a ridiculous amount of short stories. This is due to both my love of fiction and the tendency for bookstores to sell many a short story compilations on the bargain table.

Anyway, here are some short stories that have resonated and stuck with me over the years.

• Ray Bradbury: "Homecoming"
• Matt Venne: "Elvis Presley and the Bloodsucker Blues"
• Orson Scott Card: "Eumenides in the Fourth Floor Lavatory"
• Bram Stoker: "The Judge's House"
• Charlotte Perkins Gilman: "The Yellow Wallpaper"
• Joyce Carol Oates: "Thanksgiving"
• Roald Dahl: "Genesis and Catastrophe"
• Stephen King: "Popsy"
• William Sleator: "The Elevator"
• Amy Bloom: "Silver Water"
