[Nandakishore Mridula · Rating 4 out of 5]

These stories, built around phobias, is a pretty good collection. I remember only three, though: "Silent Pace" (about hypnophobia - fear of sleep) "The Hungry Sky" (about guy who is afraid of being eaten up by the sky!) and a truly disgusting one on bugs (entomophobia), whose name I don't remember.

This 1993 anthology is a pretty solid collection of horror, dark fantasy and suspense stories. I dug it up out of my closet recently and have read it more thoroughly than I probably did when I first bought it in '94.

I'd have to say my favorite story is "The Hungry Sky," by Brad Strickland. The anthology's editors did a second collection (Phobias 2) in 1995, but it seems a lot harder to find.
