The Martian Chronicles is the only short story collection I've read. So something like that would be great. But I'm open to other kinds of recs too.

I want books with good enough prose tho. Bad or flat prose is a turn off for me.

Patricia Highsmith has a delicious short story book. I wouldn't call it horror even though some pieces are a bit gory, more like a thriller, jut it was great and flawlessly written IMO. I also enjoy her more lengthy works.
