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.

I like the short stories set in the Revelation Space universe by Alastair Reynolds. They tend to be a bit bleak and have elements of horror in them. A few of his stories became episodes of love death and robots so you can give the episodes a watch to see if his stories do it for you.
