Don't Miss These 54 New Short Story Collections

"It's no secret that the digital 21st century has been rough on the average attention span. Even for dedicated readers, it can sometimes be difficult to switch into the more focused brain gear required for novels. That's where short fiction can come in handy.

Below are 54 selected short story collections chosen for recency, popularity among Goodreads regulars, and generally acknowledged awesomeness. All the titles listed below were published between 2020 and this September, with the newer books up top. It's always wise policy to keep a collection or anthology close at hand.

Some quick notes: Morgan Talty's Night of the Living Rez is generating crazy buzz this year, similar to the excitement around last year's amazing collection My Monticello from Jocelyn Nicole Johnson. Old-fashioned murder mystery aficionados may want to check out the exuberant Agatha Christie reboot Marple: Twelve New Mysteries."
