The trouble with anthologies and also the point of, is that they're a mixed bag.
So, my favourites were:
A Haunted Island by Algernon Blackwood
The Derelict by William H. Hodgson
The Story of the Moor Road by E & H. Her on
The Seeker of Souls by Jasper John
Lost Hearts by MR James
The Blank Leaves by RH Malden
The Colour out of Space by HP Lovecraft
The House of Balfother by William C Dickinson
Ringing the Changes by Robert F Aickman
I'm not saying all the other stories were of low quality, they just didn't quite spook or unnerve me enough.
But a book worth looking at alone for the gorgeously gruesome cover art by John Dyke.
