Looking for a Great Short Story?

Welcome to Short Story Finder, where you can find a great short story by subject, theme or author. Whether you’re an educator or a reading enthusiast, you’re sure to find something interesting here.


What happens when a traveling family encounters The Misfit, when a man and his granddaughter have a falling out, when a woman looking to marry off her impaired daughter hires a drifter, when a widower focuses on a local boy instead of his own son, and when three boys suddenly turn up at a farm? These situations, and many more, appear in The Complete Short Stories of Flannery O’Connor, which gets my vote for greatest short short collection ever.
