245 classic short stories books · free in PDF & EPUB
Whole worlds in a single sitting: the short story is where the classics come easiest, and this shelf gathers the form's masters — Poe, Dostoevsky, Christie, Lovecraft. Everything is free to download in PDF or EPUB, or to read online between two other things you were doing.
White Nights is the library's runaway favorite — Dostoevsky at his tenderest, four nights long. The Fall of the House of Usher is gothic perfection in under an hour, and The Yellow Wallpaper has lost none of its claustrophobic power since 1892.
