"Whether you are just beginning to explore the world of online fiction or are an old-hand to the realm, you will find much to enjoy here. All genres of short stories are represented. All types of writing styles are on exhibit. Journals from around the world are highlighted. The only criteria used to select these stories was excellence and, as you will see, there is plenty of excellence to be found among online journals and magazines."

This is a great collection of online stories. I like having my students check out online lit mags and read the newest fictions being published, and this is a way to read the "best of the best" - of course, only according to the opinions of those judging. But there is a collection out there in print - The Best Short Stories of (Fill in the Year), and many teachers use that as a classroom text. This is just another way to have readers accessing literature - and for no cost, which any student can certainly appreciate!
