Best/favourite short story collections?

I’m a big fan of short story collections and I’m just wondering what are some of the best/favourite short story collections out there that I may not of heard of/read.

I have 2 collections of Hemingway’s works, one with a handful of stories the other with I’m pretty sure his entire short story work published by Everyman’s library.

I like Hemingway but I have to be in the mood for him otherwise I can find him quite dry and lacking. Other times I really admire his prose and his work.

Another author who’s short story collections I have is Murakami, not only is he my favourite/most read author, he has many short story works out there and I’ve made my way through 2 of them. Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman & After The Quake, both of which I love.

Currently, I’m making my way through Kazuo Ishiguro’s ‘Nocturnes’ and after finishing the first story around 30mins ago I have a feeling I’m going to adore this collection. The first story ‘crooner’ was a slightly melancholic, intimate, gentle read and I would put it on par with the best short stories I’ve read so far.

My last collection of short stories I have is from Dostoyevsky. Now, before I begin with my opinions on him, let me just say that I respect his body of work and recognise how great of an author he is to people, however I cannot for the life of me get into his writing. I’ve tried multiple times reading crime and punishment and didn’t find interest in it, as well as white nights which, I admit, I was enjoying more than crime and punishment but I also didn’t finish that. I’d love to say I’m a fan of Dostoyevsky because who don’t want to love some of the greatest works in literature right, but as of right now I can’t say I enjoy his work.

I also have Chekhov’s short novel collection and I’m unsure if it would count in this list. I’ve never read it but I’ve been meaning to get around to it for some time now.

Well with my opinions aside, what are some of the best short story collections you have read and why? What is is that draws you in and makes you keep coming back to them?
