Short Stories and Novellas Only

There are lots of lists on here for novels, and many lists which contain some short stories and novellas, but few lists exclusively for shorter works. Here are some of my favorites. Please feel free to ignore when it says "and other stories" and such like. I mean each item to stand alone. Enjoy!
