[Anonymous No.8102687]

Hello pals. I come from a country in central Africa. One of our local publishing houses have given me their word to publish a novella-length genre fiction story of my choosing. This seems like a golden opportunity to introduce my fellow countrymen to some great works of imaginative literature. So my question is this: what is the single best novella length fantasy/sci-fi/horror story that English language has to offer? I want something that is guaranteed to win over people who have never been exposed to modern fantastic literature. There must at least be one work that is guaranteed to do this.

Even though it's not the genre you are looking for, you should choose heart of darkness.
