I enjoyed all of these, some more than others, but my favorites were "Steel Bodies" (about a sort of exorcism aboard a ship in a scrapyard), "Pack Your Coat" (about the appeal of urban legend ghost stories), "Leaking Out" (a masterpiece of haunted house minimalism from Brian Evenson) and, most of all, "Haak" by John Langan (a Conradian piece of nautical/mythological/MR Jamesian haunted academia). I really recommend this; in fact I went ahead and bought the first New Fears anthology immediately after finishing. Fun stuff.
