Favourite collection of short stories?
Sorry I missed this! I have a couple all-timers:
Things We Lost in the Fire by Mariana Enriquez tr. McDowell
Smoke & Mirrors by Neil Gaiman
Her Body and Other Parties by Carmen Maria Machado
Ficciones by Jorge Luis Borges
The Shell Collector by Anthony Doerr
But here are some others that are by slightly lesser known / newer authors to check out! -
Underrated fantasy/magical realism:
The Rock Eaters by Brenda Peynado
Never Have I Ever by Isabel Yap
Jewel Box by E. Lily Yu (recent release)
Sooner or Later Everything Falls into the Sea by Sarah Pinsker
When the Hibiscus Falls by M. Evelina Galang
Vampires in the Lemon Grove by Karen Russell

Following the rain of ghosts, the earth smelled of moss and black pepper, and buildings appeared to waver at their boundaries.

ザカリーヤー・ターミル、柳谷あゆみ訳『酸っぱいブドウ／はりねずみ』（白水社）
掌篇集「酸っぱいブドウ」は人が人為的災厄に見舞われる話が多い。「はりねずみ」は子供が主人公の中篇小説。暴力や性的描写は控えめだが、子供は社会の理不尽に少しずつ気づいていく。ときどき壁がしゃべったりする。
