1000 short stories categorised by genre, author, length and theme. Downloadable as a PDF or EPUB, as well as able to be read online.

I created a place to read all the short stories from history; it is hopefully a bit more modern and easier to navigate than Americanliterature.com and Project Gutenberg. It houses about a thousand short stories (under 20,000 words) that have left copyright, including Lovecraft, Poe, Arthur Conan Doyle, H. G. Wells, and others.

I'd love to know how easy or difficult people find it to use.

It's only one word that I have lined out, and 90% of the stories containing this word are written by two authors, H. G. Wells and H. P. Lovecraft. So it doesn't need much context. Believe me, those two make it obvious what they mean when they use the word.

*And 50% of the uses of the word occur in one single story "The Rats in the Walls"

For now I'll add a mention that the slurs are lined out. And I'll consider changing the texts back.
