Review of Best New Horror (Mammoth Book of Best New Horror) (Paperback)

A 3.58 anthology, so over the 3.50 mark for a fantasy book is good. There's a reasonable length introduction and overview by the editor, and the usual list of people that have carked it at the end, of varying relevance to horror, etc.

The clear standout story among some other good work is Terry Dowling's 'Scaring the Train'.
