Best Short Stories from The Saturday Evening Post Great American Fiction Contest 2016 (The Saturday Evening Post's Great American Fiction Contest);

The Best Short Stories from The Saturday Evening Post Great American Fiction Contest 2016 features 31 new must-read stories, including Celeste McMaster's dizzying portrait of Zelda Fitzgerald, "Zelda, Burning," the 2016 winning story.

Past contest winner N. West Moss ("Omeer's Mangoes," Best Stories 2015), introduces this thrilling collection of characters who race through Alexandria, Virginia, on bicycle; vie for a second chance in a game show with Death; and make a home in 20th-century New York City.

Scott Fitzgerald, William Faulkner, Louis L’Amour, Jack London, Joyce Carol Oates, Edgar Allan Poe, Anne Tyler, Kurt Vonnegut Jr., Sinclair Lewis, among so many others — and continues to support the legacy of the storyteller.
