short story collection
Gathered brief tales
A short story collection is a book gathering multiple short stories, usually by a single author.
The stories may share a theme, setting, or characters, or may be unrelated pieces compiled from an author's body of work.
Distinguished from a novel by its episodic rather than continuous structure: Her debut short story collection won the National Book Award.
