Is this short story from an anthology/collection written by a single or multiple authors? What do you think is the common theme?
It was definitely an anthology collecting multiple authors' work.I thought the theme followed the writers' own, personal fears, which is why I looked back at "Fear Itself"
Alternatively, I thought I might be from one of Wagner's "Year's Best Horror" collections, specifically vol. 19, but I was wrong again. None of his other Year's Best collections have titles that ring any bells.
That’s the one! Easy enough to find online thanks to you. Much obliged!
For what it’s worth, turned out I read it in Etchison’s Masters of Darkness II
Congratulations! isfdb.org's list of books containing the story is: http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cg...If you can remember which book you read it in, mods can add that one on the group's shelves.
We can't. It has to be the original poster or a moderator.

Then he decides to go back in to confront his fear.
