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.

Ted Chiang's short story collections (Story of Your Life and Other Stories, and Exhalation)

Seconding this recommendation. Story of Your Life is the best sci fi story I've ever read
