Crypt Gnats Dina Leacock

Cemeteries, graveyards, mausoleums, crematoriums. Places for the dead so we can remember them. Places that we treat with reverence and respect.

But these places can also attract. They can attract a soul to its cremated form. They can attract a need for revenge and to seek a Voodoo master. They can attract self-proclaimed ghost hunters, unabashed thrill seekers, and curious grievers. Like the phorid flies that are attracted to the odors of the dead, they are the crypt-gnats, attracted to places of death for many reasons. And if that reason is even partially selfish, they must be prepared to deal with the consequences.

The stories within this anthology are sure to creep into your mind and feast upon your fears, like the tiny winged creatures they are named after.oon, you will understand this attraction to the dead, and could perhaps be counted among the crypt-gnats yourself.
