Stories tells a different story in each episode while American Horror Story tells a story over each season, though there are some exceptions for both series. The first season of American Horror Stories had two episodes — its first episode and its final episode — that were connected (and also connected to the first season of American Horror Story) and American Horror Story has itself had a season that was split between two narratives (Double Feature) and a season that served as a sequel/crossover to several seasons (Apocalypse).
