Holy hell, dude… I’m looking over the list now and just reading plot synopses is getting me unsettled.
Honestly I think the two autobiographical books, “Boy” and “Going Solo” are probably better than the short stories unless you’re in a pretty twisted mood. If you’re in for the darker material, a random selection of short stories I liked:
“Mr. Feasey” is a very mild one that still has the Roald Dahl dark energy about it.
“Pig” is a deeply unsettling one.
“They Shall Not Grow Old” is haunting but quite good.
“Man From The South” is a fairly famous one that’s also very dark and unsettling.
She was a strict vegetarian and regarded the consumption of animal flesh as not only unhealthy and disgusting, but horribly cruel. She lived upon lovely clean foods like milk, butter, eggs, cheese, vegetables, nuts, herbs, and fruit and she rejoiced in the conviction that no living creature would be slaughtered on her account, not even a shrimp. Once, when a brown hen of hers passed away in the prime of life from being eggbound, Aunt Glosspan was so distressed that she nearly gave up egg-eating altogether.
Any particular adult stories you’d like to recommend?

Lol
That story is really strange though
I’ll add “The Great Automatic Grammatizator.” It’s my favorite by far, but I like all of the stories in “The Umbrella Man and other stories.”
