Create Your Own Anthology

It's been quiet around here, lately.
In my ongoing search for the highest quality short fiction I turn to the famously refined and impeccable taste of the TLO gang.
I urge you to post a TOC for an anthology of your of own devising with only one rule: no stories that appear excessively in other anthologies. To be more clear, stories like The Lottery, The Yellow Wallpaper, The Willows, The Great God Pan, Call of Cthulhu, etc. I would go so far as to say that if you are using an oft anthologized writer, (eg. O. Henry) you avoid their regularly anthologized works, (eg. Gift of the Magi), and choose a more obscure story.
Aside from that, no rules, no wrong answers, anything goes.
Cheers!

Thanks. I figured there would be one, but my searches never seem to reveal any relevant results. Like, any. Ever. Is it just me?

Loads of good stuff on that thread. And surprisingly few 'standards'.

Yup, TLO has already done this little exercise. Done it well, too. Kudos to the contributors on that other thread. Many thanks.
