Electric Lit's Most Exciting Debut Short Story Collections of 2024

"In a year packed with noteworthy debut novels, it can be easy to overlook a more eclectic type of debut: the short story collection. In these diverse, electrifying debut collections, you'll encounter haunting allegorical ghosts, embattled ferocious women, gritty, bottom-feeding youths, and more unforgettable characters. These fresh voices of fiction offer new worlds—whether fantastical, absurd, or realistic—that are a treat to inhabit."
—Skylar Miklus
