Book Riot's 100 Must Read Contemporary Short Story Collections - Page 2

Of all of the 100 must-read lists I have done so far, this was probably the easiest, because there are so many amazing contemporary short story collections. Story collections are such a gift: a whole bunch of different stories in one convenient place! What fun! The following list is made up of the first 100 collections that popped into my head. I have read and loved each of them. (And I probably have enough titles to do a sequel—stay tuned!) And by "contemporary" I mean "published this century." (Which still gave me eighteen amazing years to choose from!)
