Book description
This is a collection of the very best of William Faulkner's short stories. Included are classics of short-form fiction such as 'A Bear Hunt', 'A Rose for Emily', 'Two Soldiers' and 'The Brooch'.

Why read it?
1 author picked Collected Stories of William Faulkner as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
It's
almost impossible to dive into Southern Gothic narratives without exploring the
work of William Faulkner at some point, and his collected stories are a great
place to start. Specifically, the story "A Rose for Emily" pretty much created the Southern Gothic literary genre. The writing is
beautiful, evocative, haunting, and a springboard for the aspirations of many
Southern writers, myself included.
From Mitch's list on to summon the off-kilter beauty of the grotesque.
