There's often archive.org. The IA has so many books available to read, even ones that they shouldn't, that I make a point of checking them when I'm looking for something (and that's one of my better search tips: https://www.gwern.net/Search https://www.gwern.net/Search ).
In this case, it appears to be part of a whole anthology of Isaac Asimov-branded stories which goes decade by decade - the first anthology collects stories from the 1800s like Hoffer's "The Sandman"! (Which puzzled me for a while, as I couldn't find "Giant Killer" anywhere in the volume and it seemed wildly out of place among Poe and Hoffer, until I realized the IA had the entire set of anthologies and Google was pointing me at some combined OCR or something.)
If you'd like to read a lot of classic SF stories, this is probably a good starting point: Isaac Asimov had decent taste as an editor and it pulls together hundreds of shorts in a single convenient place.
