Sixty Stories by Donald Barthelme (best short stories ever imo)
Airships by Barry Hannah
Pricksongs and Descants by Robert Coover
Lost in the Funhouse by John Barth
The Collected Stories of Diane Williams
Ambrose Bierce wrote a great many and is excellent
Collections of sagas abound, Penguin has a slim volume entitled 'Hrafnkel's Saga and Other Stories' which is a fine place to start
If you can read Spanish (and can find it), try Hernando Tellez's Cenizas para el viento (Ashes for the Wind)
G. K. Chesterton has several short story collections; he was unbelievably prolific
Quality sh*t right here. Read it in a week back in the summer of 2015 when I was fresh out of uni and still had something resembling an attention span.
Collected works of: Flannery OConnor, Cheever, Borges, Chekhov, Poe.
Salinger - 9 Stories (this is a milestone of the disjointed “seemingly unconnected events” style)
Julio Cortazar - Blow up and other stories
Alice Munro - any of her first five collections
Updike - Pigeon Feathers
Turgenev - sketches
I think the first Murakami collection (Elephant Vanishes) is nice but it’s not to everyone’s taste.
Jack London has some great short stories. There's a bunch of different collections but Klondike Tales is great if you've read Call of the Wild and White Fang and you're looking for more. The Love of Life, To Build a Fire and In a Far Country are definitely up there with some of the best short stories I've ever read.

my mom has a copy of that
Ask her if you can borrow it. If she's cute, give her a kiss on the cheek from me.
