Clarification: Stories from the Sea isn’t actually a short story collection but a history book on Irish stories related to the sea. Doesn’t change how much I’m enjoying it, but it was a surprise.

I think I love conceptual short stories the most. Some others tend to leave me wanting more, like a full novel

Based on the intro, I refuse to believe there isn't someone with a gun directly off-camera. Short story collections are interesting! I've been reading some Shirley Jackson short stories, making my way through Lord Dunsany's Book of Wonder, and thinking about getting into Flannery O'Connor.

Gun? What gun?😂 Short stories are indeed great. It’s a little weird to hop from one to the other for me currently but I’m working on it

Ooh I hadn't planned on this but looks like its a good time to pick up some short stories. Just gonna finish off two current reads then I can binge short story collections and anthologies for the rest of the month.

It tends to take me months to get through collections and anthologies, unless they're in audio. My brain seems to take a while to bounce back to wanting more after getting a full story already. I have started going through Supernatural Encounters, though, which is pretty piecemeal.

nice. I have a little bit of that too, especially with some of the stuff in Liu's collections that make me think the interesting thoughts. There's a certain catharsis with ending a long series like Dandelion Dynasty and the wealth of words that I have with people about the series that isn't always there with short stories.
