anyone know of any good examples of this genre(sp?)? I've heard anthologies actually exsist. Stories 1 or two pages long. (1 or two?? how weird. it just came out like that.) anyways, any tips?
I'm writing a short story in the writer's forum if you're interested. It might be a little weird, but by all means a look. Obviously don't expect anything beyond amateur capacity. Other anthologies I would definately recommend is the biggest influence in my writing, H.P. Lovecraft. He wrote short stories, but not 1 or 2 pages. I would recommend that you approach it with an open mind, because some of my friends found him difficult to understand. It's like looking at a modern painting and you're not quite sure what you' re seeing. Anyway, somewhere on this book forum, someone kindly posted a link in one of the Lovecraft threads to a site where you can read his stories without having to buy the book. Still, if you like his style, it's best to have a few copies of his books for those cold wintry nights when the wind is howling outside...
Thanks for responding, but I'm really looking for a specific kind of work. The Short-short fiction kind. P.S. H.P. is great, gothic, &surreal. I'll have to check out your work at a later date cuz I'm in a hurry. But it will be done! thanks again!
Hello! people! I knoe Poe. Bradbury too, I'm looking for SHORT, SHORT fiction... as in, thats the name of the genre of fiction ,"SHORT SHORT STORIES" or "SHORT SHORT FICTION" sigh< I guess no ones heard of it. oh well, I appreciate the input, but, Poe and Bradbury? fer chissakes. Why not tell me that if I want 'hippy lit' I should read Robbins or for good horror, King? Thanks anyways...
That is short fiction. You can also look into Zen koans and such. That would be a one page or so story with a whole lot of moral.
yes...I've read Zen flesh and Zen Bones a few times. wonderful stories... but they only excite my unquenchable desire for MORE!!! MORE SHORT STORIES!!!! MOOOOOORE!!!!!!
I pick up my books at the local thrift store. Most of the time you can find books with a bunch of short stories in them. Most of the time they will be from authors you've never heard of but the stories are still good.
