Trying to find short stories for my Human Anatomy Book Report?
Hey everyone! I have to do a book report for my Human Anatomy class. My teacher wants us to do a book report on a book with a sciency… anatomy background. It could be a short fictional story or a biography/autobiography on someone. Any ideas or good SHORT reads? The report is due next Tuesday (7/1) !!!

There is a book of short stories by Robert Coover called "Pricksongs and Descants." In it, there is a positively gruesome story about cannibalism that goes into some detail on human anatomy. It would definitely fit the bill.
Have you considered the Patricia Cornwall novels. Admittedly, not short, but the passages describing anatomy and its reveations are pretty well contained.
