The 444 Greatest Stories
(See also The 111 Greatest Story Collections)
All literature tells stories. Here, however, we are looking at short stories, defined as prose fiction up to 17,500 words. Longer works are reserved for our Greatest Novels and Greatest Novellas lists.
Titles are chosen for this list based on the same extensive research and surveys that helped create The Greatest Literature of All Time list. They represent the best stories of all genres, cultures and eras.
Please note, this list is for standalone stories only. Anthologies and story cycles may be found on the separate list of Greatest Story Collections.
The list is continually updated as new works are discovered and appreciation of older stories evolves.
