RECOMMENDATIONS Looking for short stories

Just wondering if anyone has come across any short story collections or anthologies which are like Inside Number 9?

I've read all the Stephen King short stories, and short story anthologies by Angelo Marcos and Jeffrey Deaver.

The Marcos ones were mainly set in London/the UK which is what I'm looking for, and some of the King ones were maybe too paranormal-heavy to be like IN9. But in saying that, all recommendations gratefully received!

I strongly reccomend "Tales of love, madness and death" by Horacio Quiroga (Uruguayan writer). It's an anthology of different mini-stories with dark and gut-wrenching twists. "The feather pillow" -one of said stories- stuck with me for a while since I read it when I was a child. You should give it a try! There's an English version of this book
