    "We asked New Scientist writers to pick their favourite sci-fi short
    story. From H.G. Wells’s The Time Machine to Octavia E. Butler’s >Bloodchild, via stories from George R. R. Martin and Ursula K. Le Guin,
    here are the results"

    Nice list ! Great starting place ! “The Time Machine by H. G. Wells >(1895)”

    I have read at least half of these stories. BTW, I call them novellas,
    not short stories.

    I always thought of TTM as a novel.

    A short novel.

    I once owned a PP contain both TTM and The War of the Worlds.
