Jurado de cuentos

Jurado de cuentos is translated by Google Translate as "Jury Stories". The Microsoft and the SDL machines translate it as "jury of tales" and "jury of stories". Because Jurado de cuentos is the title of a short story collection by Peruvian author Alfredo Bryce Echenique, I think "Jury Stories" would be a better translation. But in Spanish this seems so odd. Are there other examples of this kind of unusual phrasing? Is Echenique implying something about his collection that I am missing? Thanks for any ideas.

"Jurado" can also mean a panel of judges. "Jurado de cuentos" to me sounds like a panel of judges that chooses the winner of a story contest.
