Short Story / Novelet / Novella Reviews at Troynovant; listed by Title
We apply no arbitrary length threshold; generally these stories are too short to have appeared as separate books. For those, see Book reviews by Title or by Author. We try to note a story's original publication (usually in a magazine) and its inclusion in some single-author collections, but usually not inclusion in anthologies. Some links below are to story discussion within reviews of collections or anthologies.

At Troynovant we are more interested in excellent or distinctive work than the merely timely or fashionable. Quality is always in season, and often more topical and entertaining than currency or fashion admit. Thus, we aim to refer and amuse, rather than to announce and forget. We avoid spoiling surprises in reviews that recommend; other works take their chances.
