Speaking as a casual reader, rather than someone with an academic or career interest, I'm not big on short story notes. The story holds together or it doesn't. The notes aren't going to change that.

I read a horror anthology where the notes BEFORE the stories gave away the endings of the stories. As in "... an excellent example of an unreliable narrator..." kind of ruining. So then I had to try to skip the notes, read the stories, then decide whether it was worthwhile to go back to the notes. I ended up skipping them entirely. So don't do that.
