Can anyone recommend a good collection of short stories? Ones that have a twist in them if possible. Thanks!

You've probably already read Roald Dahl's short stories, especially if you like a twist.

I particularly liked Binocular Vision by Edith Pearlman, though have areas of the blurb first to see if you fancy it.

Jenny Eclair. Listening In.
Short stories about women at a pivotal point in their lives.
I don’t normally read short stories but these were good, and all about the right length for a ten minute bedtime read.

I might try those too Three, I've read a couple of her novels and enjoyed them.

I was also going to add that Kate Atkinson has a collection of short stories. I've only discovered them yesterday but have addend them to my pile of "want to read' books Smile

You know that O.Henry's short stories are famous for their twists, right?

Or maybe Roald Dahl?
