As our Short Story Competition draws to a close (Fri 28th March) and we look forward to reading through the entries, I thought it would be good to showcase some of the short story collections we have in the College Library.
Some people dismiss short stories as not as good as a 'proper' story or book. I disagree completely with this. For a start, when you are short of time, but still need to read for escapism, a short story can be the perfect answer. Also, some short stories pack more of a punch in their scant pages than many 800 page epics. Just think, Brokeback Mountain, Stand By Me and The Birds were all short stories originally.

I've highlighted 3 of our collections in the 'Books and Blurbs' section on the left. Why not browse our shelves and see if there are any short story books which catch your interest. Happy reading...
