collected stories
Author's gathered tales
Collected stories is a book or volume gathering short fiction by a single author, typically spanning their career or a significant portion of it.
The term suggests comprehensiveness—more complete than "selected stories," which implies curation.
The collected stories of Flannery O'Connor would aim to include all her short fiction rather than highlights.
