We often discuss award-winning stories in our #podcast, but none more decorated than this one by Noel Quiñones, an O. Henry Prize winner forthcoming in the The Best Short Stories 2026. #shortstories #ohenry #writingcommunity

Vintage stories, surprise endings, a missing page, a mystery bookmark, and a cat cameo – honestly the most O. Henry experience possible.

#ThomasWolfe and #OHenry are buried in the same cemetery in #AshevilleNC. I think I remember this passage inscribed on his gravestone…

Arthur Irving Rush - Holiday Reading - The Gift of the Magi Tonight, we have a short classic story. This one has also had a number of adaptations . . . this is starting to look like a pattern. Please feel welcome to join and listen/read along. If people are...

Tonight at 8pm ET, we will be reading a holiday classic, "The Gift of the Magi" by O. Henry.

I expect this one to run short, so we'll either have time for yapping, or I'll pull up some random seasonal short stories.

Hi Derrick 👋🏽 😘

There are many kinds of fools. Now, will everybody please sit still until they are called upon specifically to rise?

-- Buried Treasure (July 1908)

I love O.Henry since my teenage years (i.e. for a long period of time).

I see the game now. You can't write with ink, and you can't write with your own heart's blood, but you can write with the heart's blood of some one else. You have to be a cad before you can be an artist.
-- O’Henry 'The Plutonian Fire' (1905)

O Henry - The Furnished Room ‘The Furnished Room’ is a short story by the US short-story writer O. Henry, whose real name was William Sydney Porter (1862-1910). His stories are characterised by their irony, their occasional sentimentality, and by their surprise twist endings. All of these things became something of a signature feature, and ‘The Furnished Room’, which is one of O. Henry’s more melodramatic tales, showcases them all to some extent. https://interestingliterature.com/2022/05/o-henry-furnished-room-summary-analysis/ TRIGGER WARNING: CONTAINS SUICIDE
