I sort of feel like the short story market is dead. It's sad though, because I love to read the publications each month. (And also sad because a lot of my own shorts have been published in literary magazines.) I used to have subscriptions to "Story" and "The Paris Review" and a few others. It's too bad that the glossy mags don't have much of an interest in publishing shorts anymore.

Anything by Flannery O'Connor, particularly "A Good Man is Hard to Find" and "Revelation." "Haunted" is a collection of creepy short stories by Joyce Carol Oates and is highly recommended. "Story of an Hour" - I can't remember the author.
