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.

You might like Steampunk Prime: A Vintage Steampunk Reader, edited by Mike Ashley.

By the way, the sad reality is that many of the good sci fi stories have flat prose. It's just something you have to accept.
