(The titles listed below are BOOKS of short stories, rather than individual titles.)

I recommend ANYTHING by Flannery O'Connor.

Or, if you want something that skirts genre and literary, try Shirley Jackson's short stories.

For pure, unadulterated Literature (with a capital 'L'), try this author: John Cheever.
https://www.amazon.com/Stories-John-...s%2C450&sr=8-1

If you find dead white guys problematic, then I highly recommend The Stories of Eva Luna, by Isabel Allende. Literature of the highest order!
https://www.amazon.com/Stories-Eva-L...s%2C220&sr=8-1

I find all four writers to be wonderful !!!!
