QUESTION: Short Stories / Anthology Ideas?

[Lindsay Lombardi]

Looking for an interesting collection of short stories, either an anthology, or single stories that High School students would enjoy.

The more modern the better.

Speaking of Dave Eggers, I liked many of the stories (including graphic stories) in 826NYC's publication Noisy Outlaws, Unfriendly Blobs, and Some Other Things That Aren't as Scary http://www.826nyc.org/about/publications/2006/02/noisy_outlaws_unfr.... It includes short stories by Nick Hornby, Jonathan Safran Foer, Neil Gaiman, and Lemony Snicket ....å

Perfection Learning Company has some great short story collections organzied around a genre or a theme. I've used the genre collections for fantasy and mystery. I've bought (but not yet used) sci-fi and mythology. The theme collections are things like Identity, Family, Justice, etc. There is also a teaching resource book for each set of stories which I didn't find overly compelling, but I used them a little. www.perfectionlearning.com
