One of things I do is pick a few of my favorite authors. I check to see if they have any novellas or short stories or graphic novels. SK has quite a few short stories. I also check some “classic� authors. Recently I read Roman Fever by Edith Wharton, and it was very good and a bit scandalous. Neil Gaiman has quite a few short stories and children’s tales and even graphic novels.
