The title is misleading: these are short story collections not individual short stories. I'd been looking forward to someone's opinion of 35 perfect short stories. Also, don't provide the name of a short story collection without providing the title of what you consider the best story in each collection.
Well, Chekov & O'Connor are deservedly there, but it's not much of a list without Eudora Welty, Frederic Brown or R. A. Lafferty! Also, ditto to Jerry House.

No "Simple Art Of Murder" or "Deathbird Stores" = fail.
No The Nighttime is the Right Time, either.
And no Avram Davidson, Joe Lansdale, Ed Gorman, Theodore Sturgeon, and so many others...
