Do You Like to Read Short Stories?

Short stories have lost favor with readers over the decades. Now they seem to prefer novels or flash fiction, but nothing in between. Do you like to read short stories? I love them, both to read and to write, although lately, my novel writing has taken all of my time, and I’ve had to turn down opportunities to write short stories.

This month I’ll be focusing on short stories here at JPC Allen Writes with posts about writing and reading them. If you do like to read short stories, tell me why. If you don’t, why not?

Here are reviews of short story collections I like.
