It's great, we’re telling you. Short fiction moves to different rhythms, obviously, and it’s fascinating to see how different authors achieve different effects with the format. It’s also an absolutely fantastic way to discover new writers.

We’ve gathered below a curated cross-section of new and recent single-author short story collections. All the books here have publication dates from the beginning of 2024 to April of this year.

Some starting points, in no particular order:
Tony Tulathimutte’s
Rejection features interconnected short fiction on the topic of, yes, rejection.
Marie-Helene Bertino’s
Exit Zero collects 12 strange tales on the guises of death. And dedicated fantasy readers already know that you just can’t miss with a
Naomi Novik short story collection. Also look for new short fiction from
Amanda Peters,
Jared Lemus,
Lydia Millet, and…hey, is that
Rupert Everett?
It is!
