Happy Holidays: The Short Story Gift Guide
This is the time of year many people are all out of gift ideas so I decided to compile a gift guide with suggestions for that special literary someone. I’ve always believed that a gift guide shouldn’t have a TON of items. So this is just a small list of books that I own or plan on purchasing. If you have other suggestions, please feel free to share them with me and leave comments.
And don’t you just love the covers on these books?
The holiday season is a great time to save the short story by buying books and supporting short story writers!

No Alice Elliott Dark? No Kyle Minor? No Ha Jin?
This list is lacking!

This is a list of short story collections I am personally buying my friends this holiday season. Please feel free to add titles you love. The list is not lacking–it’s just my own personal list!

Wells Tower’s “Everything Ravaged, Everything Burned” tops my list from this year. Reading Alice Munro’s “Too Much Happiness” right now as well.
