Searching for short novels
« on: May 06, 2010, 04:46:48 am »
As the title says, I am searching for some British short novels (5 to 10 pages or thereabouts)  which contain many metaphors and challenging reading.

Can somebody link me material that i can find on the web if you got some links lying around containing criteria of such sort.

in advance thanks  :)

I think you mean "short stories" = "novelle" in danish.

Look up the reading list for GCSE English Literature -- check the various examining boards. AQA, Edexcel...

Anything Gaiman. He toys with words in magnificence. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is also to be recommended

i can suggest you the book :
"Fragile Things" 
Short Fictions & Wonders
 

it contains some of Neil Geimans' s short stories.

Not really sure I'd called it challenging reading, but Asimov's book "I, Robot" has some pretty good stories.

Ah, I have some more to add to this actually...

Roald Dahl's collection of adult short stories.

And Kurt Vonnegut's Welcome to the Monkey House.
