That having been said, I would want some sort of progression if I were to read an anthology, whether thematic or stylistic. Progression meaning a significant shift in how a common theme is presented throughout stories.
Not easy to do in an anthology, but that's why anthologies suck.

I'm curious - do you read many short stories these days?

Honestly, not many. But when I do, I prefer for them to be in a single-author collection.

But some authors write such widely-ranging narratives that some anthologies are more unified
