short stories and novellas (if short enough)

Misleading list title. I was expecting to find a list of stories. Hows about doing another list, a list of great stories by these authors?

Btw, good to find someone these days who appreciates the short story form.

This year, I begin to like them (Poe, Kafka, ...).
Before, I thought that short stories were too short to have interesting elements.
