I'll do a chart for the top CND someday soon, but I don't know how to get my program working.

Check out the entire book. Might be in his other one, the salt gift of blood, but both are good, as is his novel No Great Mischief.

This looks like my kind of thing. Thanks.

Maupassant is good. I read a story a bit back about a Madame taking whores to a wedding. It was funny as hell and kind of charming in a way only the French can manage well. He also has a psychological thriller that I can't remember the name of that is quite good for a short work. I really like the translations anyhow.

If you're talking MacLeod, you can add Buckler's the snowman to your list. It's one of my favourite short stories, but mostly for sentimental reasons. Buckler is overall a good prose stylist and worth reading, though is definitely not something I normally talk about reading cause it's so sappy sometimes. But I'd take him over DH Lawrence's short stories.

Honestly, I haven't got into Chekov as much as I'd thought. I think it might eventually pass, but I'm tired of hearing anything about Russians. Maybe someone has a suggestion about one story in particular?

Weird fiction is my favourite genre for short fiction, so Poe and Lovecraft and Kafka. But there are so many good ones. The anthology of weird fiction is a decent book, just annoyingly printed and bound.

Just getting into Cortazar and Nathaniel Hawthorn. Recommendations on these too please.

Alice Munro is legitimately good. Anything by her, but the one about the pyre is the best. Can't remember the name of it or anything unfortunately.
