The links on the left will take you to a selection of classic short

It's harder to find modern short stories for free on the internet.
But occasionally university websites display stories for their courses
or authors give a sample story to tempt readers into buying their books.
Kate Atkinson -
Tunnel of Fish
(pfd file) - a story from her collection "Not the End of the World" (needs
Adobe Acrobat to read it).
Ernest Hemingway -
Hills Like White Elephants
Raymond Carver -
Cathedral
If anyone knows of any websites with modern short stories please
email me with the details.
