You posted a book for teenagers. More short story collections for teenagers, or for adults?

The Hercule Poirot short stories were very comfy.

Hercule Poirot series or the Hercule Poirot short story series? The former is good to read in publication order, while the latter is good in any order.

OP had specified neither, so from your exemplary skills of deduction you could have simply brought forward a short story collection accessible to teenagers, so long as the motive to your comment was anything other that posing as a needless blowhard.

I quite like Limmy's short stories, but they perhaps might not hold if you're not already partial to Limmy's comedy.

You need to read W. Somerset Maugham.
Best short story writer ever.
