Do you have any other favorite short stories from around the internet?

Lucky for you, I have a whole bookmarks folder just for my favorite short stories:

WHITE LINES ON A GREEN FIELD, Catherynne M. Valente

JACKALOPE WIVES, Ursula Vernon

HUNGRY DAUGHTERS OF STARVING MOTHERS, Alyssa Wong

MONSTRO, Junot Diaz

BREAKING WATER, Indrapramit Das

THE PARABLE OF THE SHOWER, Leah Bobet

SMALL CHANGES OVER LONG PERIODS OF TIME, K.M. Szpara

THE ROSE MCGREGOR DRINKING AND APPRECIATION SOCIETY, K.T. Fisher

THE HUSBAND STITCH, Carmen Machedo

SELKIE STORIES ARE FOR LOSERS, Sofia Samatar

A KISS WITH TEETH, Max Gladstone

THE PHILOSOPHERS, Adam Ehrlich Sachs

I also highly recommend all of Kelly Link’s work, Helen Oyeyemi’s “What Is Not Yours Is Not Yours,” and Ted Chiang’s work, though he remains a better ideas guy than a writer.

I know next to nothing about botany but the phrase “feral sunflower” is hilarious to me
