In no particular order, this is a list of my favorite short-stories, rightfully earning their place in my personal hall-of-fame. It is important to make the distinction between favorite and best. I make no such claim on the latter. You might recognize some familiar classics although hopefully there is enough variety to pique your interest. Enjoy!
