The Short Mystery Fiction Society is pleased to announce the 2025 Hall of Fame inductee.
HALL OF FAME
O. Henry (William Sydney Porter)
This year’s inductee to the Hall of Fame is O. Henry (1862-1910), real name William Sydney Porter. Though best remembered today for the Christmas story “The Gift of the Magi,” O. Henry’s hundreds of published short stories also include a huge number of influential crime narratives, including “The Ransom of Red Chief,” “The Cop and the Anthem,” and “A Retrieved Reformation.” A master of plotting and effective twist endings, O. Henry exemplified the depth, range and flexibility of the short story.
