Hi!
I really enjoy reading short stories and amongst some that have inspired me a lot artistically were:
Flowers for Algernon
Dreams for Hire
and The Yellow Wallpaper
Could you suggest me other short stories that feel similar in terms of interest.
Magical Realism, Social Injustice, and Family Trauma are all topics I find very interesting to read about and I especially enjoy it if they are heavy on cultural authenticity.

O. Henry and Edgar Allan Poe wrote some good ones! Also check out The Lottery by Shirley Jackson.
For some great fantasy/horror, check out the Books of Blood anthology by Clive Barker.
Table for Two, a short story collection by Amor Towles doesn’t fulfill any of your specifiers, but the writing is so good and each story is totally different from the next. I loved this book of stories.
