You might also be interested in Sci-Fi short story E-zines, which regularly publish the kind of fiction you want. Take a look at Lightspeed Magazine, Clarkesworld Magazine, and 365 Tomorrows.

Also, the earlier recommendation of EscapePod shouldn't be discounted because it is audio format. Many of their stories are "reprints" and they always link the source when there's a web presence. Often, you'll find either a download or an online version at the original source. I found both Lightspeed Magazine and Clarkesworld Magazine that way. EscapePod, along with its sister podcasts PseudoPod and PodCastle, have excellent editors. Anything they choose to present is well worth either listening to or reading. |

Have you ever listened to Starship Sofa? It's a great sci-fi audio fanzine -- it usually has a couple short stories and some other 'industry' type 'articles'. It's worth the listen, in my opinion. |

The best SF anthology ever was The Science Fiction Hall of Fame, Volume One edited by Robert Silverberg and published in 1970. It's not available as an ebook. (The Science Fiction Hall of Fame by Robert Silverberg at Fictionwise is apparently a short story).
These are all stories that pre-dated the Nebula Awards and were chosen by the SFWA. Stanley G. Weinbaum - "A Martian Odyssey" 1934 John W. Campbell - "Twilight" 1934 Lester del Rey - "Helen O’Loy" 1938 Robert A. Heinlein - "The Roads Must Roll" 1940 Theodore Sturgeon - "Microcosmic God" 1941 Isaac Asimov - "Nightfall" 1941 A. E. van Vogt - "The Weapon Shop" 1942 Lewis Padgett - “Mimsy Were the Borogoves” 1943 Clifford D. Simak - “Huddling Place” 1944 Fredric Brown - “Arena” 1944 Murray Leinster - “First Contact” 1945 Judith Merril - “That Only a Mother” 1948 Cordwainer Smith - “Scanners Live in Vain” 1948 Ray Bradbury - “Mars is Heaven!” 1948 Cyril M. Kornbluth - “The Little Black Bag” 1950 Richard Matheson - “Born of Man and Woman” 1950 Fritz Leiber - “Coming Attraction” 1950 Anthony Boucher - “The Quest for Saint Aquin” 1951 James Blish - “Surface Tension” 1952 Arthur C. Clarke - “The Nine Billion Names of God” 1953 Jerome Bixby - “It's a Good Life” 1953 Tom Godwin - “The Cold Equations” 1954 Alfred Bester - “Fondly Fahrenheit” 1954 Damon Knight - “The Country of the Kind” 1955 Daniel Keyes - “Flowers for Algernon” 1959 Roger Zelazny - “A Rose for Ecclesiastes” 1963 Every one's a winner.

http://www.infinityplus.co.uk has many short stories readable directly on the website.
I discovered it on Greg Egan's website where there are links to his short stories. Some are readable online for free, some others are available at fictionwise.com. |
