not sure to define those as BEST, but they are my fav, that any mystery story from Edgar Allen Poe. The fall of the house usher, the black cat, the man of the crowd... Personally consider the the fall of the house usher is the best thrilling story i ever read. In fact, I was pretty much scared by this one. (the clicking of the steel chains, the pounding and screaming from the coffin in the uderground, the collapsing of the house in the pond, all are still alive on mind.):eek:
 
just was reminded of another author, Stefan Zweig. His stories, the Royal Game, and Buchmendel are among the favourit stories i have read.

What kind of story can be defined as short story.? :confused:
 
I think it was called The Pedestrian by Ray Bradbury, (please correct me if I am wrong) but it's about this man that goes for a walk and I think he gets a ticket or arrested for taking a walk instead of watching TV. We read it in my honors english class a few years back. Great story.
 
Salinger's Nine Stories is excellent. For Esme -- with Love and Squalor is one of my favorites.
 
I like "The Bet" by Anton Chekhov; no spoilers, but anyone who likes books (and I know you all do) will probably find it interesting.
