I can't guarantee completeness, though as far as I am aware (I have not read everything by Maupassant), but there is a collection of what at least purports to be such. The title is The Dark Side, and it bears a foreword by Ramsey Campbell. There were two earlier collections (both included here), but I've only had access to one of those. I also have a large collection of Maupassant's short stories, which includes a massive amount of material, all of the pertinent items are included in this Carroll & Graf collection. The stories are, of course, uneven, but by and large both as examples of the short tale and as weird/horror/suspense tales, they are quite good indeed.
