Novellas/Short Stories
"Now it is time to give a little love to those little stories in your life. Share your love for your favorite shorts of any form. What is a short story or novella that doesn’t get the attention that it deserves? Recommend to readers what shorts you would recommend they start with. How about listing some short story anthologies based upon genres or authors?"
If you love short stories/novellas you should check out these stories:
Grimm’s fairy tales is a great group of short stories to start with especially if you’ve never read them all. They are dark/twisty and the ends of a lot of them may just surprise you. These stories are pretty timeless too.
If you loved the Nightshade series you have to read the novella Aftermath by Andrea Cremer. If you’ve read Bloodrose this novella might just make the ending of that book hurt a lot less.
This is an awesome story that goes right into the 3rd book in the trilogy Monument 14: Savage Drift. It explains how Josie got to be where she is and yes it does make a later part of the book even sadder.
If you love Gini Koch’s Alien series then you have to check out the short story in this magazine. It’s all about how Reader meets Paul Gower and the other ACs.

Thanks for these...and yes yes on the Grimm Brothers Complete Fairytales, I visit those at least once a year, oh yes I do.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by. :) Yes, I've always loved the Grimm stories and they're timeless too.
DeleteBrothers Grimm, they are classics for a reason!
ReplyDeleteExactly and it's great to go back to the original stories and see what a lot of new stories are based on. :)
DeleteYou know, I don't think I have read very many of the Grimm stories. I need to do that! Thanks for the recommendations!!!
ReplyDeleteYou should there are some real surprising ones in there. Thanks for stopping by. :)
DeleteI never really thought about fairy tales being short stories! How funny! I've never read the original Grimm stories. I mean, I know about some of them but think it would be awesome to read them in full!
ReplyDeleteNice, yeah they're the first thing I thought of. You should check them out, they're really good.
DeleteI love the short stories you've cited here especially the Grimm Brothers. I read it in high school and I remember being mesmerized and traumatized. Lol. They're surely different from what we see on the movies!
ReplyDeleteThanks and yes they are really really different than what you see in the movies.
