Weirdly, this bizarre little horror-lite story is one of the ones that people tend to mention to me/remember the most. (It’s creepy but not, like, nightmare fuel or anything – I’m a lightweight when it comes to actual horror!)
It’s hard to discuss without spoilers, but suffice to say I guess that wasporcist is kind of a nice portmanteau (ish) between wasp and exorcist; an exterminator plus, you could say.
Anyway, this one came out a couple of years ago, being Inklet #5 (wow, all the way back when* o.O) but I realised I’d never posted about it, so here we are. You can also read The Wasporcist in Of Sea Foam And Blood, my collection of dark YA fantasy stories.
Her ears buzz, day and night, like a wasp has taken up residence in her brain.
The solution? Call whoever it takes to get rid of it. No matter what the cost.
If you love stories that leave you glancing over your shoulder with a chill down your spine, don’t miss The Wasporcist.
