The gods Lie is a one-shot manga. It's sweet, funny, sad, heartbreaking, and hopeful, all in one short story.

"This magnificently strange, moving and hysterical debut collection of short stories was, full disclosure, written by my WIFE! But I wouldn’t recommend so highly if I didn’t think it one of the very best short story collections."

Was a very short story. Written well but I want thrilled on the small minded country folk. It was Ok though
  
The second short story bundled with Kevin Hearne's 'Hounded' in which Atticus O'Sullivan and his dog Oberon encounter some witches up to no good (of course) while on a short vacation.

Compared to the previous short story, this shows more the nature of Atticus connection to the land (he's a 2000+ year old Druid, remember), especially with the forest setting. It also takes the saying "nature, red in tooth and claw" quite literally!

This is a collection of short stories - I did think it was just one story! The Christmas at cold Comfort Farm story is set pre-flora Poste, but was still probably the best story in the collection. worth a read.

In Ron Carlson’s very insightful book Ron Carlson Writes a Story, writers are able to glean information on how Carlson wrote his short story “The Governor’s Ball.” This helps give both readers and writers a better insight on how the process of writing a short story works for some writers. Though not all writers use this kind of format for all of their stories, the basic ideas can be transferred from story to story. There are always the important features such as detail, setting, and dialogue that are necessary to a story. While these are all very important to the story, there are other aspects that make the story even more compelling. However, there are also important features such as the characters, the inner story, and the outer story. The characters must be realistic, but can also have a few surprises in what they do. The inner story and the outer stories are connected to each other. The inner story relies on the outer story to exist. The outer story helps the inner story take flight. The vast amount of craft that goes into writing a story, especially a short story, is made evident in Ron Carlson’s book.

Excellent short story (read in under an hour) telling some of the background to the full Chronicles of the Black Gate series.
While the short story doesn't go into much detail on the world, races, geography etc this doesn't hinder enjoyment as a standalone work, as well as being a nice opener for the series as a whole.
