Short Stories about Isolation & Loneliness

Time seems to move to a slower beat. Everything becomes more circumspect when you have no one to share the big things of life or even the everyday little things. The worry of being alone, to be apart from others. The solitary feeling for a short time might help to get things into perspective or cool a raging mind. But if it’s long term then the mind begins to play tricks. Conversations are between ourselves, no outside voice to support, to balance, to question or confirm. From there the path can be very unsettling. 01 - Short Stories About Isolation and Loneliness - An Introduction02 - Misery by Anton Chekhov03 - In a Far Country by Jack London04 - Regret by Guy de Maupassant05 - A Dill Pickle by Katherine Mansfield06 - Diary of a Madman by Nikolai Gogol07 - Hands by Sherwood Anderson08 - Her Lover by Maxim Gorky09 - The Mourner by Mary Shelley10 - The Yellow Wall Paper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman11 - Mumu by Ivan Turgenev12 - The Outsider by H P Lovecraft13 - Mr and Mrs Dove by Katherine Mansfield14 - Witch's Loaves by O Henry15 - Morphine by Mikhail Bulgakov16 - A Lonely Ride by Bret Harte17 - Miss Ogilivy Finds Herself by Radclyffe Hall18 - The Outcasts of Poker Flat by Bret Harte19 - The Bet by Anton Chekhov20 - Paul's Case by Willa Cather21 - The Looking Glass by Anton Chekhov22 - The Canary by Katherine Mansfield23 - A New England Nun by Mary E Wilkins Freeman24 - An Idyl of London by Beatrice Harraden25 - Adventure by Sherwood Anderson26 - Shut Out by F Anstey27 - The Diary of a God by Barry Pain28 - Oil of Dog by Ambrose Bierce29 - Sokratics in the Strand by Amy Levy30 - When I Was Dead by Vincent O'Sullivan31 - The Face by E F Benson32 - The City by Leonid Andreyev33 - The Cloak by Nikolai Gogol also known as 'The Overcoat'34 - Miss Brill by Katherine Mansfield35 - Vanka by Anton Chekhov36 - The Boarded Window by Ambrose Bierce37 - Two Little Soldiers by Guy de Maupassant
