Many writers who write novels also write short fiction - Stephen King writes them, and I personally adore 1408.
Orson Scott Card also has some, and they're pretty good.

I, Robot by Isaac Asimov is his first collection of short stories that introduces the Three Laws of Robotics. These laws are propagated through his famous Robot series and Foundation series. The Three Laws are still discussed today in technical publications and institutions of higher learning, especially in the collection of fields known as Roboethics.

You said it so well! I think writing short fiction is very hard because it has to be immaculate!Zannie wrote:I think Short Fiction would be harder to write as you need to include an unexpected twist at the end. This needs to have slight hints that don't give away the twist at the end. Very hard to do.
The list about is really great, too!
