Best Short Stories of the Modern Age by Douglas Angus
2.0
These are not the best short stories, but rather stories by the typical canon of authors. That said, you get great stuff from Hemingway, Kafka, all the short story writers you'd expect, and a few that I had not heard of. Angus does a good enough job of picking stories.
He seems, however, to only like one sort of short story, one without clear resolution, and without the typical story structure. Almost all of them end abruptly or without closure. If this is your thing, go for it.
