Do you hear that? That hum in the air; that whirr in your ear … reluctant and incessant, soft and loud: noise as of a thousand tiny wings. There must be flies around here somewhere. Gathering for a meal, perhaps. Want to go see what they have found? Thomas Kodnar—author of the Austrian Slasher novel "Maskierte Mörder*innen: SKULL"—presents sixteen weird and slippery short stories collected from various international publications. Enjoy. And don’t let the constant buzzing drive you insane.
