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

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.
