So, TS, what are some of your favourite short stories? Off the top of my head, some of my favourites are stuff like:
The Last Question - Isaac Asimov [br]
I Have no Mouth and I must Scream - Harlan Ellison [br]
The Mist (or Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption) - Stephen King [br]
The Telltale Heart - Edgar Allen Poe [br]
The Colour from Space - HP Lovecraft
To be honestly, almost anything by Lovecraft, but The Colour from Space, Nyarlathotep and The Call of Cthulhu especially. A lot more Asimov stuff too.
