I work a lot. That statement is an understatement, I'm always working. I really don't have time to crack open a novel, and read. The last few books I've tried to read have been left half read, because my progress was so slow I lost interest.

I'm looking for shorter literature forms to keep myself reading. What are the best horror short stories, poetry, etc that I can read during breaks and while I'm eating?

I second A Book of Horrors, I just wrapped it up a week ago and it was legit.
