Book titles require either italics or underlining.

Short stories, however, require quotation marks. In this case, you would just put quotation marks around the short story title, and no comma is necessary afterword.

Example:

I love the short story "The Yellow Wallpaper" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman.

The inner quotation is treated just like the outer quotation in terms of capitalization, commas etc., but the quotation marks are single rather than double. e.g. She replied, "He only exclaimed, 'I don't like you anymore!' and walked away." Before both quotations, the inner and the outer, there is a comma. The punctuation completing each quotation is still within the appropriate quotation marks - the exclamation point at the end of the internal exclamation is inside the internal quotations. However, the quotation marks for the inner quotation are single (like apostrophes - ' ) instead of double (as usual - " ).
