I know that short stories are rarely sought after by publishers (especially from first-time authors), but do readers actually enjoy or even prefer them to novels? So much less of a time commitment and the stories usually move quickly to their *hopefully* satisfying conclusion.
Do you have a favorite short story collection? Personally, I've always liked Flannery O'Connor's and Roald Dahl.

*Shameless Plug Alert* I'm a new author and recently published my first eBook, No Right on Red : A suspenseful short story collection inspired by the weirdness of New York I would love to hear any thoughts or feedback!
