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.

    The Illustrated Man, also by Ray Bradbury. Welcome to the Monkey House is a great collection of Kurt Vonnegut’s shorter works, many of which are in the vein of sci-fi.

    If you want to go weird with it, Harlan Ellison’s short stories are great. I’d also recommend Gene Wolfe’s The Island of Doctor Death and Other Stories and Other Stories.
