Can you recommend any best investigation short stories for beginners?

Sure. 'The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes' by Arthur Conan Doyle is a great start. The short stories are easy to follow and introduce you to the brilliant detective Sherlock Holmes and his methods of deduction.

Sure. 'The Lottery' by Shirley Jackson is a great start. It has a simple - seeming small - town setting but then takes a very strange and disturbing turn that makes you question the norms of society in a slipstream kind of way. Another good one is 'The Metamorphosis' by Franz Kafka. The transformation of Gregor into an insect is a very surreal event in an otherwise ordinary world, which is a characteristic of slipstream.

I'd also recommend 'The Soft - Hearted Sioux' by Zitkala - Sa. It's an important piece that shows the internal struggle of an indigenous person caught between two cultures - the traditional Sioux culture and the imposed Western culture. It's not overly complex and can help new readers understand the cultural clashes that indigenous people often faced.

Sure. 'The Old Man and the Sea' is a good start. It's a short but powerful story about an old fisherman's fight with a huge marlin. It gives you a sense of the relationship between a sailor and the sea, and the determination one needs when out on the water.

Well, 'The Purloined Letter' could be a good start for beginners. It's a detective story that shows how to look at things from different perspectives to solve a mystery. 'An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge' is also suitable. It has a great narrative structure and the twist at the end is something that beginners can learn to look out for in short stories. And 'The Most Dangerous Game' is engaging. It presents a rather unique and somewhat disturbing concept of human hunting which is an interesting take on the criminal short story genre.

The Theranos investigation. Theranos was a health - tech startup that claimed to have revolutionary blood - testing technology. But investigations found that their technology didn't work as promised. Reporters dug into the company's operations and exposed the fraud, saving investors from further losses and protecting the public from potentially inaccurate medical tests.

I'd recommend 'The King of the Golden River' by John Ruskin for beginners. It has a kind of fairy - tale like surreal quality with its magic river. Also, 'The Selfish Giant' by Oscar Wilde has a touch of the surreal when the giant's garden changes with the seasons in an almost magical way. 'Bluebeard' is another story that has a surreal and somewhat dark undertone, especially with the locked room full of secrets.

For beginners, 'The Double' by Fyodor Dostoevsky is a good start. It's a classic that really delves into the concept of the doppleganger in a very psychological way. You get to see how the main character's world is turned upside down when he meets his double. It's not too long either, so it's quite accessible.

I'd recommend 'All You Zombies -' by Robert A. Heinlein. It has a really cool concept that's easy to follow once you get into it. 'The Star' by Arthur C. Clarke is also a great beginner's story. It combines science and religion in an interesting way in a future - setting. 'Surface Tension' by James Blish can be a good start too. It presents a different kind of world and the challenges faced by its inhabitants, which is a common theme in futuristic short stories.

If you're a beginner, 'The Legend of Ghal Maraz' is a must - read. It's a short story that is full of action and at the same time, it tells the origin of a very important weapon in the Warhammer lore. 'The Skaven Invasion' is also good. It shows the sneaky and devious nature of the Skaven, one of the most feared races in Warhammer. And 'The Knight's Vow' is a story that can introduce you to the concept of honor and chivalry among the human knights in the Warhammer world.
