Online Science Fiction Short Stories

I like to read science fiction short stories online (as opposed to in print) - and I am betting that you probably do too. Most of the stories that I review can be found online, and there are good reasons for that.

Even though you may not actually "read" the short story online, if you are able to "find" it online you have more possibilities as to what you can do with it.

  • For example, most science fiction short stories that can be found online are free (there are some exceptions, like pay-to-read or pay-to-download sites) so you save money by reading online.
  • However, if reading a short story on a computer screen is not your favorite thing to do then you can always print the online stories you find. (See my "Printable" category for tips on how to print the science fiction short stories you find online)
  • Another reason I like online short stories is because after you read the review you can easily click on the link (that I have so conveniently provided) to read the story yourself - you don't have to wait to purchase the book or magazine that it appears in. Chalk one up to instant gratification!
  • Finally, one last benefit to online science fiction short stories is that if you like what you read you can share the link with your friends and they can enjoy the stories too.
Isn't the internet great?
