But I don’t want to leave anything out! In no particular order, here are my favorite short stories of 2022.Ī Gentleman’s Agreement by Aimee Ogden (Kaleidotrope)Ī story about the complex relationship between hero and villain, with a wonderful voice and genuine emotion – beautifully-written, and occasionally heartbreaking.Ī slow-burning and deeply creepy story about a woman being stalked by her ex, exploring domestic violence and the unsettling idea that the protagonist might be safer among the dead than the living. As a general rule, I tend to read a lot of short fiction, and there was so much fantastic stuff out there last year, so brace yourself – this list will be long.

Last but not least, to round out my favorites of 2022 posts, here are the short stories I loved last year.
