This is a great collection of stories. Probably my favorite collection of short stories I've read. I particularly like that they divided them into themes rather than alphabetical by author.
A great variety of styles in this short story collection. Enjoyed hopping from one author to the next and found some highly original pieces.

Working my way through it slowly but it has been helpful and insightful, in my quest to become a better writer.
Very practical and with great examples from popular fictions.
Excellent collection of short stories.
9/356
If you want great examples of short stories to help cultivate your own writing style, read this collection. This is how writing should be done. The rest of us can only hope to do as well.
I've never really read collections of short stories before, so this was great. Its some of the best published short stories, and it was very helpful to me in my own writing process of my short story.

Holy Moses! I went to put the other Gotham book away, and found this on my shelf--forgot that I'd bought this some time ago, also on the cheap, at the campus store.
frequent travel has made me rediscover the short story...odd that literary form that is actually quite dated is so relevant and convenient today.
Stellar examples of fine short story writing. Designed to teach, as well as entertain.
There are some really great stories in here. One of the best was Daniel Orozco's "Orientation".
This is one of the most inspiring short story collections I own.
Fantastic collection of shorts
