The Oxford Book of English Short Stories | 
(My cat, for attention purposes)
What are some of your favorite short works written in the past 50 or so years?
My daughter is making a list of short stories, short novels, and maybe poetry and plays suitable for & interesting to a high school English class.
A lot of my books are old fashioned/too long/not a good fit. I don‘t have many short story collections, and the stuff I read in high school & college was pretty dull.
BookNAround Moon of the Crusted Snow is a fantastic short novel. I over Carys Davies‘ The Redemption of Galen Pike as a set of short stories. The Mad Scientist‘s Guide to World Domination has some fun short fantasy stories in it if she wants to engage the kids with expected tropes and inversions of such. Not all of the stories are created equal, but anthologies tend to have that issue. 5y
