Dear lazyweb...
I would like to read more short stories. I'm not particularly bothered about genre. I care more about plot and characters than atmosphere, style, and clever wordplay (although I do like those things too). I'd prefer things on the shorter side - around 2-3000 words would be ideal, but up to 6000ish would be okay. Some authors I've enjoyed short stories by before are Roald Dahl, Daniel Handler, Angela Carter, Isaac Asimov, Neil Gaiman, Poppy Z Brite (as was).
What else should I try?
