Unreliable narrators in short stories often lack objectivity. They are too involved in the story's events to give a neutral account. Their language can also be a giveaway. They might use overly flowery or convoluted language to hide the truth or they may be very evasive. Also, they may have a psychological disorder or be in a state of mental distress that affects how they perceive and report what is happening. This makes it hard for the reader to trust their version of the story right from the start.

One of the best is 'Gone Girl' by Gillian Flynn. The narrator's version of events is constantly being undermined as the story progresses, keeping the reader on their toes. Another great one is 'The Great Gatsby' where Nick Carraway's narration is somewhat unreliable as he has his own biases and limited understanding of the complex relationships around him. Also, 'Lolita' by Vladimir Nabokov has an unreliable narrator in Humbert Humbert, whose self - justifying and immoral perspective makes the reader question the truth of his account.
