Can anyone name me a great short story (NOT CLASSICAL)?

Not a classical one – not one of those from Edgar Allan Poe, Ernest Hemingway. I mean any short story made by a new comer. Like something that won a writing contest

Don’t Ask Jack by Neil Gaiman. Spooky little thing.

ETA: Though I *do* have to agree with many that James Joyce’s The Dead is possibly the best short story ever written. Best I’ve read thus far, anyway, and short stories are probably my favorite form of writing.

The Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway $13.99 Before he gained wide fame as a novelist, Ernest Hemingway established his literary reputation with his short stories. This collection, The Short Stories, originally published in 1938, is definitive. Among these forty-nine short stories are Hemingway’s earliest efforts, written when he was a young foreign correspondent in Paris, and such masterpieces as “Hills Like White Elephants,” “The Killers,” “The Short, Happy Life of Francis Macomber,” and “The Snows of Kilimanjaro.” Set in the varied landscapes of Spain, Africa, and the American Midwest, this collection traces the development and maturation of Hemingway’s distinct and revolutionary storytelling style — from the plain, bald language of his first story, “Up in Michigan,” to the seamless prose and spare, eloquent pathos of “A Clean, Well-Lighted Place” to the expansive solitude of the Big Two-Hearted River stories. These stories showcase the singular talent of a master, the most important American writer of the twentieth century.
